Leaf cutter ant eye
This unusual view of one of our leaf cutter ants from the Bug House at World Museum Liverpool is a Scanning Electron Micrograph provided by Siobhan Watts from the National Conservation Centre. The micrograph is used as a teaching aid in the Bug House.

Update: (10/10/06)- flickr slideshow with more of the leaf cutter ant scanning electron micrographs
