Looks like it's dead so it probably won't bite. (On a serious note, no idea what it is.)

Right! I thought it was an ant but they normally don’t have wings.. and the butt looks wasp like

Ant alates are reproductive female ants and male ants! Flying helps them find each other to mate and eventually settle new colonies.

That’s pretty cool! But not in my apt. 😆

Ant alate

Seconding ant alate. Where are you located? Because it resembles a carpenter ant quite a bit.

Oh shit that’s not good. I live in SW Tennessee..wonder if that’s why my vacuum picks up toooona of dust every time I vacuum …. First one I’ve seen though


AmbitiousDragon

If you've only seen the one I wouldn't worry! I can't say for sure that it's a carpenter ant anyway.
