Went hunting for about an hour, 9:30 to 10:30. Found nothing special so far besides workers of a species with curved abdomens which may have had acid at the ready since many were holding them up like a cat's tail.

Went looking again. Still no luck. I did see some ants digging up their nests though, and they seemed to be building them wide.

I'm going to go looking tomorrow before class, assuming we don't get even more rain.

Wish me luck.
