This is not just another post. Today I returned to the exact spot where i was stung ten days ago by one of these ants. The reaction I had has rattled me. I returned today with new epipen and got some shots which I hope I can get an ID for. I then hope to research (in my citizen scientist way) about this animal to try and understand it better and hopefully come to terms with our relationship.
