This is the Common European #rabbit, #Oryctolaguscuniculus
Like many prey species, they have eyes on the sides of their heads so they can see damger coming. Predator species tend to have eyes at the front of their skulls

This lovely #ant is the #shinigngguestant who looks like a jewel, dipped in glossy resin. Tiny at 2.5mm she's not 2b confused with larger #woodlants like #Formicarufa, and she's shinier & less dark brown than the #slenderant (3mm). #Illustration for #antguide by @CairngormsNatPk
This is the #Hairy #woodant #formicalugubris. One I'm doing for an id guide of all the UK wood #ants. Tell this one from others by the hairs which are longer than the S. Red & Scottish wood ant, and which grow up to & beyond the eyes. #entomologicalillustration #sciart
