This is an ant. Magnified 400x!!

Full Gigapan

I love the Gigapan. People make such amazing pictures with it, but they’re usualy of huge panoramas, or regular things. I’ve never seen one of something so small before! You can check out more of Molly Gibson’s magnified Gigapans here.

This ant is from Madagascar, and is named Eutetramorium mocquerysi. The species is notable for having wingless queens that are indistinguishable from workers.
This image is composed of 400 pictures, and it’s magnified 400x using a scanning electron microscope.
