London, Ontario: Carpenter Ant
/My daughter and I waited for the warmest afternoon to eat outdoors at Morrissey House near our hotel. Shortly after we sat down, a small insect flew onto the menu. A case of wildlife in the city of London, Ontario! I began to take macro images of it and then realized it was shedding its wings! It looked like an ant to me. My daughter commented that it could be a termite.
The sequence above happened over less than a minute! The waitress returned and took the menu – ending my photographic opportunity.
A little research using the photos….and I concluded that it was a carpenter ant.
