That’s a crawfish hole. Not a chimney.

It’s a golden ground wasp that makes those holes this time of year

The post above referencing the Tiger Beetles is correct. I spent quite a few hours with my cousins over in Mississippi as a tyke catching those things with a piece of straw and a quick jerk to pull them out the hole. we always called it doodle bug fishing but the correct insect is the Tiger beetle larva.

There they are. Lu-Lu worms! We fished for them also.

This is what my experience with it was....mole crickets, aka doodlebugs.



ETA...and I reacquainted myself with this like last year. Still works.
