fisherwr2 > Side view of a carpenter ant, Camponotus pennsylvanicus (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). One good way to differentiate an ant from a termite is to look at the antennae. If they are "elbowed" or bent in the middle, as in this image, it's an ant. If you have something that looks like an ant but has straight antennae, more likely it's a termite.

The capsule is extremely strong to protect the brain and sensory organs. It also supports the massive muscles that operate the jaws. Note the "ball-and-socket" joint that allows a broad range of motion for each antenna.
