Speaking of ants.
We have big huge red ants in Texas.
If they bite you it is like someone put a cigar out on you.
The make huge mounds and the main meal of the horned toad.
The fire ants some way or another took them out.
The other day in traffic in Austin where 7th street and Airport blvd meet on the side of the road in the strip of barren weedy soil was a very active red ant mound.

I am also seeing these little wee black ants now on my place I have never seen before.
What the devil are they and where did they come from?

I dont know what happened to the huge fire ant mound in my raised beds I hoed up.
I have not seen hide nor hair of them since.
That thing has been plaguing me for years.
Maybe the hoe Blitzkrieg did it.
Maybe by pure luck I stormed into the royal chambers and killed the queen.
