The key to making renditions of ants that are "cute" is simple:
Choose a dark contrasting color for the eyes. Compound eyes don't have pupils, but you can add life to them by giving them a highlight, so they look bright and lively.
Make the mandibles smaller but don't skip them. It's like drawing a bird with lips instead of beak when you skip the mandibles.
Do not make ants "fleshy"
Position the antennae in a lively manner.
It's that easy!
