Let's learn ANTatomy!
The lower portion of the antennae is called the funiculus. (in other parts of biology a funiculus is a bundle of nerve fibers, and this is the most sensitive part of the ant, so it makes sense... also what could be more FUN that tapping everything with your antennae?)
The base of the antenae is called the scape.
The coxa is the joint that connects her ant legs to her mesonoma, aka thorax.
Ant feet don't have toenails, they have tarsal claws.
