It was about 2 inches long (10 cm.), not including the legs. After the photo shoot, El Jefe chopped it up with a machete. I worry about poisonous spiders biting our dogs so I didn't complain this time. Besides, when in Rome.....




It is a little deformed as some Celosia argentea v. spicata grew up around it and I actually forgot it was there for awhile. Apparently it was stretching sideways to reach some small bit of light. Just imagine it now without one single leaf on it. Poor limón!

I have some incredible leaf cutter ant photos to show you one of these days. Stay tuned!
