My “humanities” education informs me that it the ant and the grasshopper.
But this can probably be answered “scientifically” in terms of energetic throughput relative to mass. I don’t know the answer though.

Heh, one of the working titles I considered for this essay the question is about is “The Grasshopper in Winter” 😀
The Aesop characters are such pure projection though, it is impossible to take cues from the animal world through them anyway
