I found a web site dedicated to them and i emailed them to see if they can tell me what part of the world it came from. It'll be cool to find out.

How big is it? Over the years, did ant livestock go missing--fish, inverts, dogs, cats, small farm animals? I think I saw that once on TV in the 1970's style monster movies. LOL
