Top 10Huge Ant?
April 12, 2010
Friends and I were hiking the Solstice Canyon trail two weeks ago in the Santa Monica Mountains in Southern California and happend across this bug. I wish I would have photographed it with something for size reference, but it was about 2 inches long and roughly the circumference of my thumb.

Hi Dominic,
People who encounter Potato Bugs or Jerusalem Crickets for the first time often mistake them for giant ants.
