A N T S

Woke up to my floor crawling with a dozen large garden ants :(

They were pretty much all over the floor, mostly concentrated under my desk where I think they're crawling through a hole in the ground. I figured it was the stuff in my garbage and recycling bin so I emptied those, and then mopped the entire floor with Swiffer WetJet. There are less now, but I still get maybe one every couple hours. Before today I'd only get about two a week, if at all.

This fella made it all the way to my desk.
There was one who made it up my bedside table, another one on my bookshelf...
they're everywhere.

It apparently happens in this house when the weather gets warm, so either we'll have to talk to the landlord about it or I'm going to make some DIY spray or something to prevent ants from getting all over my room.

Also spotted a centipede in the bathtub as I was brushing my teeth - I tried to kill it but it scuttled away into the shower curtains and I couldn't find it anymore.

Speaking of bugs, this giant monster of an insect was hovering on our front porch, effectively barring my way in after a quick trip to Fortinos yesterday.

It's not a bumblebee... nor is it a wasp. It's massive.
What is it?
