I've been looking for inexpenisve giant ants that would be much bigger than my 28mm hapless victims. These are not cheap at $5 USD each, but they look awfully good:

But if you needed just a few ants or other bugs these look pretty good.

Anyone have any of these?

Extra Crispy,

How about these?

They are made by Safari, known for their detail work.

Yep, I had seen those. Problem is there's only one ant per toob (all I'm interested in are ants right now). But they are decent looking.

Steve Jackson had some ants in his minis line as big as a 28mm man

The 99 Cent Depot near me carries sets of two insects for $.99 USD of course. Iirc, one of the combos is an ant with a praying mantis.

Yep, I saw those as well, Goldwyrm. Dollar store raid last weekend. I didn't buy them, and will, of course, want them next whenever, after they are gone.
