don't like tallow wood. The other trick is to find some black

And the black ants swarming over your beds on a nice day will
really keep you junping, no chance of dozing and doing something
silly in the plot when you have black ants.

nor green ones either ;-}

To bad our ant eaters are useless. But an african anteater could
clean up. Wonder if we should import a few for his garden..?


and no doubt, they too would be invading sydney and brisbane before the
cane toads reached there - mind you, they'd be a prettier sight than the
toads
