I was in a meeting, doodling as usual to stay focused, and my little circles became bugs, then ants, and finally ants dancing. It reminded me of a song my friend Judy put out a couple years ago called “The Ants Dance.“
If ants dance, what style is more popular with them? I’d guess line dancing or maybe salsa.

I know if you get ants in your pants,
it makes you do the Hula Dance…

Thanks! One page at a time. The next coloring page will be the Armadillo’s House. I’ll post a sketch of his mail box.

Clearly, ants do line dancing. And I really liked the R. Madillo mailbox. Now if only you could put dancing ants with monkeys…

What about ants wearing monkey suits? Or monkeys dressed as dancing ants? The possibilities are limitless, like ants in space:
Ant 1: “Save the Queen!”
Ant 2: “Who’s the Queen?”
Ant 1: “I am!”
Ant 2: “No you’re not!”
(Thank you, Simpsons.)

For some reason the dancing ants reminds me of the Sherlock Holmes story “The Adventure of the Dancing Men”.
Perhaps there is some mystery afoot?
