This Nano Gigapan is of an ant commonly found in Northern California. We found this one in the kitchen. It is the same species as the one below that's holding a fly.
This Nano Gigapan is a head shot of the ant that is composed of 80 pictures. The ant is magnified 500x.
You can see optical images of it on ant web. http://www.antweb.org/description.do?rank=species&name=occidentalis&genus=aphaenogaster&project=calants
