What the heck is this?
Permalink  

Found this on the kitchen floor awhile ago, no idea from whence it came or wtf it is.

It looks like an ant but I've never seen one like it here.

It is about 1cm long, black with white dot on the back of the head and a couple white dots on the top of the abdomen.  There are white stripes under the abdomen as well.

Cheers Neil

I have been given a suggestion, a Wingless Wasp which looks a good possibility even if the colour is not quite right.

Cheers Neil

ps:  I didn't like the idea of the "Scout Ant" Doug...ha ha

That is a "Scout Ant" Neil. He is sent out in advance and will report back in readiness for the big invasion.

I got onto the CSIRO site, (http://anic.ento.csiro.au) and perhaps ita a webspinner - which is the closest I seem to find.

Maybe you could mail it to them for a look see.

Never seen one before but looks a bit like a wasp of some sort. Ugly thing.

I hope you disposed of it for good Neil? I did warn you my GN friend.

Another thought! There doesn't happen to be a Alien Space Ship out the back by any chance??
