I was walking along the river and saw this poor being upside down covered in ants. They were eating him alive. I first wanted to help him, but then I realized to let nature takes its course.
Welcome to the cruel word.

Cool detail! The colors on him are amazing. I have issues with bugs, but I guess they are rather beautiful when they are not chasing me.
