I was peeling back some bark on a dead hemlock tree, which is laying on the ground near my cabin.... mindlessly, i ripped a big piece off and found the biggest ant ever under there!!! Big ant, with big ant egg sacs... and no other ant like it in sight.
A giant loner.

Jet black with light golden hairs and rings on it's back end...
A dark loner.

An ant who doesnt lay but a small amount of eggs, it seems to manage on it's own.
A single loner.

Does anyone know what kind of ant this is?
