I feel it is time to let the ants rest, Mike. But their days are
numbered. The professional exterminators identify these as fire ants.
Unfortunately, we are in a 3-state area that has not only red imported
fire ants, but black ones as well. They will be dealt with as soon as
the weather dries up a little.
Dean suggested I leave them alone, but I want them gone.

Never have seen so many ant threads on the list. Jim 's recent shots are much
better. He'd better keep them around for macro practice, if nothing else---
Endless source of fascination. Dean ought to like this thread too.
There are the occasional fatality in US from ants-- almost always from fire ant
from many many bites, often by falling asleep near a mound of them --then
anaphylaxis. Doubt those are fire ants given the color. There are many fold
more fatalities in US by falling vending machines.
Commute the sentence to time served as macro subjects, Mike
