6. Chandelier Reflection Ant

As I was sitting on my couch this evening, trying to think of what I could come up with for Ant #6, I looked through the doorway into the dining room and there it was on the ceiling! I couldn't believe how clear of a reflection that my dining room chandelier projected onto the ceiling of the basic, rough shape of an ant's three main body sections and the antennae.
The image on the left is simply a photo of the reflection; no enhancements. The photo on the right, is enhanced to help you see the ant that I was seeing :)
Do you see the ant the same way that I saw it?
