Are these anthills/holes in my sideyard? I'd love to get rid of them
and stop the invasion of moles in my yard. Presumably the moles are
looking for the insects.

hard to tell by the picture, but if it were digger bees, or ants also, I
would think if you just sat nearby and watched for 10 minutes activity
would be seen.

Tried that, nada. Perhaps they're early morning or dusk creatures?



Well I dug around in the dirt with a shovel and at the very least uncovered
what WASN'T in the hole.

It wasn't ants, looked like large metallic green flies. They came
barrelling out of the hole at a pretty good clip - one per hole, so I didn't
get a good look at them. Might have been a wasp, but looked too burly to be
a wasp. didn't have an obvious thin waistline - but again I didn't get a
good look at them.



It may of been just an emergence of some sort of beetle or cicada type
creature.
