Beetlesqueen ant?
Hi,
I saw this ant in NE Alabama just last week. We got a picture of it, but of course, it was so blurry you couldn’t even make out its shape. However, I ran across this photo someone had taken, and it is the same creature we saw. It was almost two inches long, most of which was abdomen. Is it for sure an ant and can you tell which one specifically? Thank you! And by the way, I love this website!
Best regards,
Mary Shew
Hi Mary,
It might look like an ant, but it is a Short Winged Blister Beetle or Oil Beetle, Meloe angusticollis.
