Raspberry ants?
In the local news recently has been talk about these new kind of ants (they have nothing to do with berries, they were named after the guy who publicized them).

Weirdness. One more thing to worry about. |

Re: Raspberry ants?
I read that in the paper Friday. We have those ants here.. they live most anywhere but especially in flower pots, under or between bricks and sidewalks and so-on. There can be thousands of them with dozens of queens in a single nest. These crawl around 'like crazy' and often are seen moving their colony one place or another.
.
I noticed a couple of years ago that wherever they are there are no fire ants, I hate fire ants. And these have no sting or bite as far as I can tell, so I don't particularly mind them. Blind snakes are frequently found in their nests.
.
Thanks for posting that.

Re: Raspberry ants?
LOL, when I saw the title of the post I thought someone had discovered a Raspberry version of the Lemon Ant.

Re: Raspberry ants?
Oh lordy. They look like those little sugar ants everyone knows...I assume they aren't the same thing though? I guess I'll be on the look out for an ant invasion...though if they eat fire ants, they can't be all bad. I just stepped in a mound of fire ants yesterday, so I'm still nursing a grudge.
