Field Notes

Description:

That is one handsome ant :) Although they can be pest species when invading the wood of a home, the underlying problem of moisture is the real culprit and a dry home has no problems. In their natural habitat they help to speed the decay of wood.

Habitat:

Riparian-Conasauga river
