Regarding fireants, have noticed a new behavior. They are not building
mounds any more. A few locals I discussed this noticed same. They simply
build underground and disperse the unearthed soil about to hide their
location. Stealthy versions, apparently. Now, that scares me. No, not
kidding.

Wonder how long it will take entomologists and exterminators to express that
to the public in general?


And here I thought I hadn't found any mounds because it has been too
dry this summer for the nasty little f*cks to make a living...Fleas,
fleas I got in spades, but nary a fireant heap have I seen
since...April andmaybe earlier.
