Don't know why I didn't google that up years ago, but according to Wikipedia a Blue Ant is, despite its name and its appearance, not an ant at all, but rather a species of large solitary parasitic wasp sometimes known as a flower wasp.


Interesting.

Beautiful!!
I can see it on a credit card-

I can see the pattern.

I always associate Blue Ant with the Ant-Zen record label, myself.

Many of their artists have been inspired by Gibson's work and I think I'd be safe hazarding a guess that he's aware of at least some of them, and Ant-Zen's position in the "avant-guard" music scene.

check 'em out

ah. lost track of ant-zen.
(if you look under the releases, there was a solid chunk where every release had a review by me)

Judging by the abundant thorax, we might know where the name Bigend came from?

In the beginning was the Blue Ant...
