That lunch sounds delicious. If Overtaxed can hurry up with the wine...

When my daughter was very small she once got into some fire ants. I don't think she recovered for a day or two, though it's been so long, I don't remember exactly.

It'll be a while unless you like really raw stuff!

Well, we don't have any ants like that up here! - We don't have ants with a worse bite than a mosquito.

And, I began appreciating my ant hills (I have about six big colonies out in the pasture) when I noticed a steady stream of ants raiding the horse's manure piles and carrying out all of the fly larvae that gets laid there... I consider them an important part of my fly control regimen!

I also feed a supplement that is intended to keep fly larvae from hatching in manure...

Some of it must be working... I have my door wide open today, as usual, and no flies are coming in! I have very few flies for a horse farm. I rarely need to spray the horses, and my friend (who burns her anthills, by the way) has a bad fly problem!
