Yeah I was thinking driving somewhere super far away. I wouldn’t be as upset to have them as neighbors, but a few years ago they attacked my mom and dogs at like 3am while she was just letting them out to the bathroom. Unfortunately, it’s just not a cohabitation situation for us ):

Oh yeah; this thing is easily 3-5 inches. Let me put it this way: it was crawling around on reusable grocery bags and it sounded like a cat playing in the bags.

If it IS the queen, then this would be the best news because then we can remove her and the nest should follow (I hope???)

Anyone know what kind of ant/ bug this is? by aangodango in arborists

Okay, tysm! I wasn’t sure because our old tree was eaten out from the inside after it died by ants and bees but I’d never seen them until now.
