A photographer captured a detailed image of an ant’s face for fun – but people can’t believe how terrifying it is, with one saying it looked like ‘Satan’
Ants in general are incredibly fascinating but can give lots of people the ick thanks to their many legs, quick movements, and tiny size. While we all know what one looks like as we feel it scurry over our leg during a picnic or spot a swarm covering something sticky on the pavement, have you ever wondered what the tiny insects look like close up? Like, really close?
Well, once you see what the face of an ant really looks like, you’ll probably wish you hadn’t – as people are claiming the harmless creatures have one of the most terrifying things they’ve ever seen and something straight from a horror movie.
Now, an amateur photographer has been giving people nightmares after sharing an incredible image of a dead ant’s face up close, with others saying they have a “new fear unlocked” thanks to the terrifying photo. The fascinating still, taken by Reddit user Josh Coogler, was shared on the platform and quickly attracted a huge number of comments and likes from delighted users, which opened a discussion about the complex biology of insects.
