So I can home and was going to feed my little ant family a cricket............ Only to find the entire nest over run with the common black ant (Sugar ants, piss ants, Pharaoh, Pavement, what ever you want to call them). And thru out the nest was parts of my Solenopsis ants spread all over..... incl...

My very first queen died.... :-( I left her alone for a few days and came back to her knocked out :-( She still had her wings when I found her so I took the chance with fingers crossed .... Welp should be more queens showing up soon! ... hopefully the next ones I find will turn out better. Ant love...

Well, my first check up on her will be tomorrow. She was caught yesterday. If I see any progress, like wings removed, eg...

Wow, this is actually a UK news page. It reads like an american one... Well, not entirely. An american page would have probably titled something like "YOU DON'T WANNA HAVE THESE KILLERS IN YOUR BACKYARD!" or "PREPARE FOR DOOMSDAY - FLYING FIRE ANTS GONNA KILL US ALL!". No. I don't know where you're...

I will try just that the closer I get the more unfocus the picture becomes, I'm using an iPhone 6 phone
