I have some additional materials on order so that I can tie some of these. I think this pattern is a good representation of an ant. It has three separate "lobes" (if that is what they are called) while most patterns only have two.

This pattern is from Kelly Galloup of Slide Inn in Montana. You have to look closely in this photo, but there is a strip of metallic style gold mylar extending to the end of the rear lobe.

Galloup stresses that the lobes should be dubbed in two different colors/shades. This adds to the "separation" of the lobes.
