SYNOPSIS
While out on a hunt for a new mate, The Queen of the Amazon Ants and one of her subjects find themselves under attack.
The Queen wears low cut, tight-fitting army fatigues that accentuate her shapely thorax and abdomen, and a pair of black calf-high combat boots. The Queen also has two large antennae growing out of her head because she is an ant. She is a smart, sexy, and fierce leader, unafraid to kill for the survival of her colony.
The last of the Queen's subjects wears oversized well-worn desert fatigues that hang on her body, giving it no shape, with a pair of ankle-high combat boots. She is a loyal subject willing to do anything her Queen asks her to do.
The Ant Exterminator, Herbert, dresses like a member of a SWAT team, the Navy Seals, or CSI. He wears a tight fitting black t-shirt (maybe the word 'exterminator' is written in white across the back and front; maybe he has a hat) and black cargo pants. He is also strapped with a number of high-tech gadgets and wears a slick backpack sort of thing with a connecting hose to spray and kill ants. Herbert is brave, bold, and charming. He is a confident exterminator who likes to win at any cost.
