This nightmarish creature lives among us

Scary as it seems, there is nothing to worry about, this horrible-looking creature is a Camponotus ligniperda...commonly known as an ant.

Lithuanian photographer Eugenijus Kavaliauskas submitted this magnified photograph of a carpenter ant at Nikon's Small World Photomicrography Competition. It didn't win first prize (won 3rd place), but the image went viral and gained more attention than the entries of the other 2 winners.

Am I ever so glad these creatures are tiny!😂

@bookerdana It'll be hard to, forests are their favorite habitat and I am always visiting forests. They're quite safe from me because I don't deliberately step on them. At homes I have lived at, I would sweep ants away and deposit them outside and put cinnamon powder in the trail they made, leaving it there for a few days and it works, they never come back.
