This thing is about as big as a golf ball and has a long black tube (an ovipositor?) which it is thrusting into the hole beneath it. I am assuming it is a queen, though I thought she would be more protected. I see no other similar insects anywhere around...
There are dozens of holes like the one she is currently using...or making...should I do something to make sure these eggs don't hatch?

Thanks in advance for any help!
