The Flower Pot

I love to take photographs of flowers and I have a photographic library full of them. As much as I love flowers, especially wildflowers, I am notoriously bad at growing them. I plan to post shots of cultivars and wildflowers in a wide range of colors and from a wide range of places.

Cow Killer Ant

Labels: , , , ,
*****
I saw a butterfly fluttering around the flowers and went to get a better look and found this; a cow killer ant. I have lived here for 20 years and have never seen or even heard of these before. They are apparently wingless hornets/wasps and can be very dangerous. They can supposedly take down a cow.
