It has silvery hairs and other design elements that allow it to withstand temperatures up to 128 degrees Fahrenheit. They only have a window of 10 mins a day to get food: between when it\u2019s so hot their predators take shelter so they don\u2019t die&#8230;and before it\u2019s gets so hot the ants will die. It\u2019s said they are so shiny and move so fast they look like mercury spilling onto the sand. It\u2019s miraculous to me that their species survives. But they are resilient, and with their unique design they can cope and thrive in one of the most inhospitable environments. I paired the image of these ants with a portrait to remind us that we as human beings are also equipped with remarkable means to endure and overcome hardships.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1982\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jdgraham.net\/hmgillustration\/wp-content\/uploads\/ant-girl.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"6936\" height=\"5976\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jdgraham.net\/hmgillustration\/wp-content\/uploads\/ant-girl.jpg 6936w, https:\/\/www.jdgraham.net\/hmgillustration\/wp-content\/uploads\/ant-girl-760x655.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.jdgraham.net\/hmgillustration\/wp-content\/uploads\/ant-girl-768x662.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jdgraham.net\/hmgillustration\/wp-content\/uploads\/ant-girl-600x517.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 6936px) 100vw, 6936px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">All images \u00a9 Holly M.
