    ants should only have six legs…. thats a spider…

    @Lol the two front “legs” that you are talking about is actually the antennae of the ant. So the artist was right, that is an ant.

    I remember the puffer fish from my high school art class, fun but a pain in the butt to blow up properly without messing it up.
