It's over 100. Did some wandering and saw some things I do not see in Portland. I could hear the cicadas-- but they were high in the trees-- and not coming down for a portrait

No idea, but it was huge, maybe 10-12mm, maybe twice the size of the red fire ants I grew up with in Oklahoma. (The ones I see in Portland are about 4mm-- we call them "sugar ants".) Well done Allen, any idea what kind of ant that is?
The only larger ones I've seen were in Costa Rica and were maybe 20mm. Not kidding. Apparently the Indians used to use them to suture wounds.
