A marvelous ant in Micrographia.(1665) The ant gave Robert Hooke a lot of trouble since it wouldn't quit moving around as he tried to draw it. He ended up dipping it in brandy, ... though he does say that it woke back up and ran away. Gotta love this girl for surviving!
He supposes that the ant was drunk... But it probably was simply deprived of O2. I've seen ants who fell into water revive in a similar way when their somatic pores dry off and they can breathe again.
