Weird Ant On My Balcony
Hello there! It seems like I had an unexpected visitor this morning. As I woke up, made my cold frappé coffee and was about to get out and enjoy it with my sister and our grandmother, my eyes fell on the floor where I saw...
this little guy!
A huge, colorful, hairy ANT!!
It was all alone, running wild up and down:
And I was running after it on the balcony in my pyzamas...
The crazy insect paparazzi with the smartphone!
Try and picture this with the Benny Hill Theme Song in the background. And my grandma calling: "What are you photographing again, Karalazo?" (Karalazos was a guy she used to know who would wander around with a camera hanging down his neck, thus the nickname)
Here, have a few more shots.
Damn! If only I had my camera, those photos would have come out so much better!
(Pfff! With a little luck my new battery and charger will be here tomorrow)
@trumpman got jealous anyway, 'cause he'd never seen such a creature before!
And a last short video goodbye:
My little friend had found something to eat there, so it stood quite still for a while.
But once it was done, the race began again...
And I waved goodbye to catch up with my cold coffee.
PS: I'll be coming back tomorrow with some more cool details about this little guy and the rest of its species 😉

Thank you so much for your time!
Until my next post,
Steem on and keep smiling, people!
Inquiring minds want to know if you stomped on that one after the photo op? Or did it run away to video surveillance @trumpmans house?
Oooh, it was not in the house, which means it did not identify as a threat :P
So, I let it be and it ran away...
Oh too fun, I guessed you wouldn’t stomp on it:). Loved the macro shots!!
Thanks!! :)
Ruthie, don't you think we should give biological name to the ant?
Okay I got this - how about Samminatus insectus?
PS: Why do weird insects love your house? Spiders, wasps, ants... Now I'm getting jealous
Hmmm, how about SamminANTus insectus? Ahahahaha!
We don't use pesticides, maybe that helps... or maybe the can sense that I am weird too :P
Lol. The SamminANTus go me laughing hard :p
Plot twist, it's not an ant.
Grrr I'm dying to know what it is but I don't think I have enough time in the day to rummage around interactive world ant maps - 263 native greek ants... and I don't even think there is a termite map... guess I'll wait for tomorrow
Check your messenger :)
Heeey! Why did you have to ruin it with your spoiler?!?!?!?!?! 😢
Και εγω νομιζω ruthie οτι δεν ειναι μερμηγκας...δεν εχω ξαναδει τετοιο'μυρμηγκι' ....οσο για τον @trumpman πιστευα οτι θα εψαχνε να βρει τι φυλο ειναι....φανταζεσαι να εκανε το κολπο που ανεβασε τις προαλλες με τις χελωνες για να δεις αν ειναι αρσενικες ή θηλυκες???....
Τα αποκαλυπτηρια αυριο!
Παλι καλα που ελειπε ο @trumpman, δεν θα ηθελα να τρεχει πανω κατω στο μπαλκονι με το τσουτσουνομακρυναρι να κανει βζουν βζουν. :Ρ
It's a mini spying robot. Now you just got photographed in HD :)
Oh my! I hope it doesn't get in the house!!! Did @samminator send it? 'Cause he likes such technological stuff :P
Exactly! Isn’t it a little too weird for a biological ant? (I mean the colour). It looks like the infamous turtle spy ant that went awol from my robo-collections :D
Lol
That's a cool looking ant! I'm looking forward to reading about the species in your next post :)
It was, it looked so pretty under the sun, as if it had glitter all over it! I'm getting the new post ready in a few hours :P
Was there a stress of photography for this ant?
Your ant looks weird. Maybe it's not an ant? )
I remember how the wasps chose your balcony0
Nope! It was very relaxed, I think I got it doing its morning jogging, that's why it was running :P
So he must come back to repeat the photo session when a new battery and a charger for the camera arrived ; )
Yeah! It better come back!!!
I can't help but think of @mobbs ant tune whenever i see ant related things :D https://soundcloud.com/andrewmobbs/kingdom-of-ants
... if it's not an ant, what is it? :o
Aaah, I haven't heard that tune... Thanks!
Be patient, I'll tell you tomorrow! :P
'tune' is a strong word here lolz
I had never seen an ant like that! I'll wait for your post about her, to learn something new.
Hehehe, only it's not an ant :P
hahaha ... I already read it in the comments.
I hope to know what species it is ;)
Check out the next post after that ;)
it's the first time i see this kind of ant. haha show it to the scientific community maybe it's a new species and you get to give him a name!
I won't be that lucky, it is not a new species :(
With a little help, we managed to find out what it was... you will see tomorrow! ;)
"We"? Ok , I am flagging your next post 😠😠😠😠😠😠😠
Pfff! @trumpman found it, ok?! I was going to credit you in the next post anyway. Happy?
yes! :*
Αυτό είναι τερας... θα μας φαει αν μεγαλώσει κι άλλο :p
Πρεπει να ηταν γυρω στα 3 εκατοστα. Αρκουδα ηταν, οχι μυρμηγκι :Ρ
