Help me ID these Big Freaking Ants
I walked outside to see these things swarming, the queens are 2.5 inches including wings and the drones are an inch smaller. the worker ants from the mount are only 1/8 to 1/4 inch and i have never seen such a disproportionate size! i never even knew the ants where living under a shed at the house since there are no outward signs of a mound. They are not carpenter ants and dont appear to be texas leafcutters...any ideas? Oh, and Raid Max just makes em wet, not dead. funny thing is that they werent flying away and many seemed to want back into the mound where the holes had erupted. i have lived in this area for 40 years and never seen these...
