Big ant... by ingrid01

Big ant...

After yesterday's gecko I still had the macro lens on my camera and thought why not have a look outside...
I found were a bunch of big ants and on my computer I saw there were some plant-lice/aphids too. I'm OK with ants being outside and they gave me some nice pictures today too. But, unfortunately, I'm afraid most of their family was killed yesterday... Over the weekend we suddenly had quite a few of these big ants in the wood above the toilet near the front door. So I phoned the property management and within an hour there was a guy for pest control. Funny was that he was taking pictures of this problem himself too. I completely understood, because it was quite amazing how many came out of the door-frame when he started spraying
Looks like something out of a horror movie. Great macro shot.

Looks quite a monster ant. We have bull ants here and they give a nasty sting.

They are hardy too. I can imagine how hot it is there. We were 102 Fahrenheit today, felt like 114, because of the humidity.

Oh my, I have pest control as well. Don’t want ants inside my house but since this macro photography I start to like all kinds of bugs ..
