this is texas: strong-ants

The earthworms in Charlotte were crazy. They were rubbery and tough, and after it rained if you poked one it would trash about violently as if to attack you. With Dan and Meg, we called them the "Charlotte Strong-Worms."

Here, we have Texas strong-ants. They're fire ants (which are already scary) but they seem extra strong and evil. Here they are gnawing on hard plastic.

See? Can you see them biting into that plastic?


Also, they create these odd inverted cones instead of ant hills. What?
(Or at least I think ants did that)
