New neighbor dropped in to say hello...

[Missourian]

...interrupted my wiring repair.

Not much to him if you asked me.

Moved him to the old wood pile next to a rotten stump. Hope he makes it.

I've found a few of those around my place over the years. They keep pests down.

That's just a baby one. There is likely a lot more where he came from.

Cow killers.
Those big bright fuzzy orange and black ants that are actually in the wasp family I believe.
Most people in the southern US know you don't want to step on one barefoot.....the sting is excruciatingly painful......from what I hear.

But a small snake might be able to make a good meal out of it.... maybe get a little Venom High even

You dont see em very often.
But they're some tough little bastards. You can stomp on em and they get up and keep going as long as they get stomped in the dirt.
