ok I saw this giant "ant" and i went to smack it with a shoe and he just kept on crawling. so I smashed him again a lil harder and it didnt even phase him. on my third attempt to kill it i stepped on it as hard as i could and even twisted my foot around to make sure he was dead and the only thing i succeeded in doing was tear his butt away from the rest of his body and he just kept on crawling. It looked like reddish ant but it was huge! like 1/4 an inch long and it was like his body was super hard or something. i couldnt squash him no matter how hard i tried. what in the hell was it? i read a few things that suggested it was an ant-mimic spider but i cant find any pics or facts about the kind i saw so i don't know. anyone who is knowledgeable about bugs please help me out or suggest where i might look to find out. by the way.... I live in louisiana in case that helps at all. thanks!

I had two ants at different times in my house and they were the size of wasps - an inch long - but they were definately big black ants. and my cat kept trying to kill them but I just washed them down the drain. I have never seen an ant like that in my life and it was so big, I was scared to squash it. lol. I'm a baby about bugs. I live in PA.

Don't know if this link will help, or if their are any myrmecologists out their who could add.
Ants are fascinating creatures. I have come across several large ants - I lived in the tropics for a period of time, and I saw some huge bugs, including ants. But I'm not familiar enough to say. check the links

easily, that did no longer ensue interior the movie. The ants have been so super, and proportionately stable, that no you will have held them everywhere. What DID ensue interior the movie is that Dr. Medford had to be responsive to if there grow to be any risk of rain, or a brilliant water grant close to the nest that they had discovered. He had was hoping to flood the nest to kill the first public of the ants. yet, as suggested above, ants breath by using their facets and can proceed to exist that way because of the fact of their small length. Their floor section is sufficiently small to make that style of respiratory obtainable. the huge ants interior the movie could desire to no longer have exceeded adequate air to stay. nevertheless, it relatively is a brilliant movie and between the main suitable "monster movies" obtainable.
