Aprox 12-14mm, 2 petioles, I pulled her out of a water fountain she was drowning in and I think she tried to sting me. LOL.

Quick running Odontomachus (Trap-Jaw) worker skittering through the hotel room. Which was odd because our hotel room was so cold (aprox 18C). I know the picture is very hard to see (she wouldn't stay still) but if you have any idea of the species that would be cool. She was maybe 10mm~ couldn't get an accurate sizing she's too fast.

My first encounter with Attas (Leaf-cutters)!!! These girls were about 12mm~. I was beyond ecstatic to see these girls!!!! They have dark heads and gasters, thorax is a much lighter brown. If you can also give me a species specific ID that would be nice.

Now would be a good time for uso to make an appearance. :D That 10cm Trap-jaw must have been amazing to see! Just kidding. Did you take a vacation or something?
