Thanks, Merrytexan. Sometimes seeing things like this even gives me the creeps.

Thanks, Tim, and I'm humbled to know that you enjoy seeing the quality of my efforts. I'm a retired guy with time on his hands to do little and all day to do it.

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.
