Most ISPs have their newsservers set to not distribute binary posts where they appear in these text groups, so most readers will be unaware of any accompanying pic. It would be informative to be told what niche the insects are habitating, what they seem to be feeding on, and how many there seem to be. Your photo shows them on dead timber, so maybe they are termites that are normally unseen but which you uncovered? (Just to show how one can be otherwise left to jump to wild conclusions.) I've never set eyes on such colourful bugs. -- John Savage (my news address is not valid for email) |

theyre actually gathered in a dead clump of grass which i whipper snipped and poisoned a few weeks ago at the bottom of the hardwood stake thats in in the pic .there is a tap there but i never use it so the soil underneath isn't wet i hope they arent termites, ive got another photo of them all in the grass ..ive got a funny feeling that they are babies and when they mature they might turn black in one of the pics i think theyre might be an adult i could be wrong ill attach a couple more pics in binaries under the original post thanks for any input "John Savage" wrote in message ...

Look a bit like Termites to me. Google "Termites" and then click the
Images option. Not exactly the same, but close. Linda |

Idiots use google groups and think that is usenet. Not exactly true. My provider (teranews) is not all that fussy about binaries in a non-binary group but others like bigpong give you the text only, that is why I was able to see the image in a text (only) group. BTW how does one access google groups??? |

Do you have any other photographs? Look like an ant to me, but with out better photographs, can not be sure. IME You do not normally see termites on the surface like that unless they are winged or nest has been broken open. attachment of a photo of them in next post |

They do look like termites, we have some round here that are about that size. There are many species round the world, you would need to be an expert to say exactly which one. Is your house timber? fade up music from the movie jaws David |
