updated so her legs are all connected to the correct body segment.

@futurebird @RoseyPosey Why are there teeth?

@nazokiyoubinbou @RoseyPosey

There *are* teeth on mandibles. Her mouth and tongue wouldn't be visible from this angle, being behind the mandibles.

@futurebird @RoseyPosey Ah, I didn't realize the "beak" was supposed to be modified mandibles. I figured it was part of the strange ant/bird/monster hybrid thingy just having another bird part.

@nazokiyoubinbou @RoseyPosey

She must be one of those "living fossils" but I'm excited that an ant from the Haidomyrmex genus with veritical mandibles has survived to this day.

I suppose I could give her wings and make her a young queen. Hmmm.

@futurebird @RoseyPosey I'm just over here focusing on the fact that you made very very sure to give the pigeonant a very prominent stinger.

@nazokiyoubinbou @RoseyPosey

Well, Haidomyrmex could sting. It's totally innocent and *not* related to day dreaming about pigeon sized hell ants invading the white house or ANYTHING like that. It's just more accurate.

I was going to ask whether ants have irises.

I fixed that:

Some of them might have pseudopupils, though.

When you look at many insects with compound eyes, it looks like they have pupils that follow you. This is just because each ommatidium (one unit of the compound eye) points in a slightly different direction, and each has photoreceptors at the bottom that are dark to absorb light. So the ones pointed at you look dark because you're seeing down them.
