Black Carpenter Ant

This is a Black Carpenter Ant that I found while throwing out the trash this morning. I scooped it up in my hand and brought it in and prepared it for a focus stacking session. They don't like to be held and the tend to bite. I've done others in the past and they make convenient and interesting specimens.

Another awesome set, sippy.
Thanks, Kpmac. The little S.O.B's bite although it is nothing like that of a Fire Ant. On a trip to Arkansas I picked up a board that had Fire Ants under it and they blistered my hand something fierce which I thought was quite amazing for their little size.

Thanks, Napabob. I hope that you are able to get out and about with your camera for I truly enjoy seeing the artistic side of your macro sessions.

Very nicely done.
Thanks, Mark. Summer has set in full force here and I suspect that things have warmed up in your area as well which should make for good critter hunting for you.
