Do you know of some font which has an ant as a character? (I need it in a document I'm preparing in plain tex that is to be processed by pdftex.)

5My suggestion: (1) Pick an and from OpenClipArt; (2) Import SVG into Inkscape; (3) Export as PDF image; (4) Include image in TeX. – Werner Oct 08 '15 at 18:49

It's not the answer about the ant font, but how to load the external image with \pdfximage, query its dimensions with \pdfrefximage and use it finally with \pdflastximage, all in a box, then unbox it (see pdftex manual for this)
\setbox0=\hbox{\pdfximage{beeduck.jpg}\pdfrefximage\pdflastximage}
\unhbox0
\bye
