Prometheants

We have harnessed the power of the Gods. A group of ants work together to lift aloft a magnifying glass. Now they are gods among ants. I got the idea one day when a student's bicycle suddenly blue its tire while minding its own business in a sunny spot in the courtyard. I joked that maybe a bunch of ants carried a magnifying glass into a nearby tree and this was them taking revenge on all the children who had used this optical tool on them. Available as posters on Cafepress and Zazzle as well as in a cartoon style for shirts on both of those sites as well as Spreadshirt, and Printfection.

I've also got a demo spin of the original Promethants model.
In case you're no fan of ancient Greek mythology, the name is a take on Prometheus, a Titan who stole fire from the gods and gave it to humanity. Here the ants have stolen a magnifying glass for their own purposes.
