They are absolute demons from the darkest depths of Hell. And an invasive species that is harmful to native ones so they shouldn't even be here. I usually have a live and let live policy regarding insects but I will nuke a fire ant nest without a second thought.

Quoth mjr View PostYa know, people that don't live where Fire Ants are just don't understand...heard a story once of someone who got "attacked" by fire ants on her, uh, lady bits...
Feet, legs, and hands are bad enough. I can't even imagine that...
For those unfamiliar...

Quoth Ceir View PostActual question: tips for long, solo car trips? I have a couple days on the road coming up, and while I have water, caffeine, and good music already lined up, it's more driving than I've ever really had to do before. One thing I know is going to suck is that I don't have cruise control.Customer service: More efficient than a Dementor's kiss

Quoth Ironclad Alibi View PostThe red fire ants came into the US in the 1930s at Mobile, Alabama, and spread throughout the south. I know about them because i grew up in northern Florida.

I may have some faint inking of what that feels like... It turns out I seem to be allergic (sensitive?) to certain spermicides used on some brands of contraceptives.
Nothing kills the mood like burning pain....“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers

These little bastards bite down to anchor themselves in your skin then repeatedly sting you. The pain fades relatively quickly but them the swelling and itching sets in, and that can last more than a week.

We had a heated game of Exploding Kittens. It was down to Grandma & Tween. Grandma got the Catomic Bomb card, which lets her move all Exploding Kittens to the top. Tween just smiled & played a Skip card.
His own grandmother. Absolutely merciless.
I'm so proud.

I see all these memes about people wanting to sleep for years & then climb into trees to scream like the cicadas.
I know I'm a terrible pedant but cicadas don't scream. None of the sounds they make are vocal.
