This is a SEM Nano Gigapan of an ant we found outside of the office. It stitched a little strange and so I have delayed posting it for over a week.

It is of the species Linepithema humile. You can see optical images of it on ant web. http://www.antweb.org/specimen.do?name=casent0006020&shot=p1&project=worldants

This Gigapan is part of the NanoGigaPan project. Which is working to take big pictures of small things.
