Such an exquisite corpse! I'm currently writing a play about the naturalist Maria Sibylla Merian (her artwork is amazing!), and that has made me more fascinated with bugs. The delicate filagree and sparkles--wow! I hope my corpse looks half as good. I probably won't have my arms and legs sticking up in the air, though. That might be too rough on the undertaker.
Oh, Susan! The look of concern on your undertaker’s face — ! Haha. And yes, you are so right to be fascinated by our six-limbed co-tenants on this planet. You must have seen those extraordinary “portraits” of ants - EXTREME close ups of their heads? That reveal the fantastical structure of those miniature faces? Beyond astounding.
The entomological world has so much beauty often overlooked as "bugs," unfortunate for us. A humungous loss as your example shows.

Thanks for the ant thoughts! XO
