Fire Ants!

[AlittleSalt]

I was out working in the yard and garden today. I took a break and walked around a bit. I started seeing fire ant beds all over the area. There was one about 30' away that you could see ants on it moving. I got closer and took a couple pictures. The ones with wings on them are queens. Each one of them wants to go start a new colony.

I thought I would share the pictures and provide a link on just about everything you would want to know about fire ants. That soccer ball I put beside the mound was completely covered in fire ants in the time it took to take the first picture. http://articles.extension.org/pages/...nd-development
