Red-barbed ant, SEM
Red-barbed ant (Formica rufibarbis), coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). This ant is common in mainland Europe, but rare in the UK. The two compound eyes are seen, one at upper left and part of the other at upper right. The two antennae (the long, thin, sensory structures) are attached to the head between the eyes. Below the antennae are the ants mouthparts (lower right), including the strong mandibles (one at far right) used to cut up food. Behind the ants head is its thorax (upper part of its body). One of the ants six legs is at far left. Ants are social insects that can form colonies of several million individuals

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a Red-barbed ant (Formica rufibarbis) through a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Native to mainland Europe, this particular species is considered rare in the UK. The image highlights the two compound eyes, one visible at the upper left corner and a portion of another at the upper right. Positioned between these eyes are the ant's two long and thin antennae, which serve as sensory structures for navigation and communication. Just below them, we can observe the mouthparts of this fascinating creature, including its robust mandibles used for cutting up food. The thorax, located behind the head, forms part of its body structure captured in this photograph. At far left, one of its six legs is showcased with remarkable clarity. Ants are highly social insects known for their ability to form colonies comprising millions of individuals. This visually striking SEM image offers an insight into both biology and entomology by revealing false-colored details that would otherwise remain hidden to our naked eye. It serves as a testament to nature's diversity and complexity while shedding light on lesser-known species such as this uncommon red barbed ant (Formica rufibarbis).
