Ant

An ant, a small, industrious insect that lives in a colony. Depicted as a black or red ant, typically in full profile on its six legs facing left, with a prominent abdomen and antennae.

May be used to represent ants specifically, as well as various insects or other bugs. As such, it may also be used for metaphorical senses of bug, such as a software error, an annoyance (e.g. a "bugbear"), a hidden listening device, or an enthusiasm (e.g. “catching the travel bug").
