This is a focus-stacked image of my preserved black and red carpenter ant's mandibles taken at 10X magnification using a microscope objective as the optic for the camera. Below is a picture showing one of the ants staged before the camera as it posed for its session.

They use their powerful mandibles to gnaw galleries and tunnels in wood to build their nests and they can be as destructive to your home as termites.

Thanks, Scallihan. There are times that I check under the bed and cover before I get in bed after doing these.
