Are ther any pics of the Formics?

[DevoidRaptor]

The reason I ask is because when I read the Enderverse my minds eye always envisions them as, basically, characters from A Bug's Life, only black. I wanted some pics of the buggers because this cute n cuddly picture of them I have in my mind kinda distracts me.

Please and thank you.

I don't know about pictures, but they're elaborately described in Xenocide (the third book in the Ender series). Suffice to say, they're not cute and cuddly.

The normal buggers, or drones, are child-sized (a little over a meter) black, slimy, shiny, carapaced insectoids. They have jet-black eyes like bees, and are bipodular. Their hands have only a thumb and a single finger, which they use like a pincer. A friend of mine is offering to draw a bugger as I am writing this. I guess I'll take him up on that, and post the result here. Check back in a few days, haha.
