Great news for the South! I only hope the proliferation of the fly won't create another eco-problem, but fire ants are a HUGE problem down south...

A Good Thing.

They wait, crawling up your leg without attacking until one gives off a signal, and they all sting at once.

That's the worst part. Stealth bastards...

Yeah, might be a problem of unintended consequences. Have they checked to see if there are any natural predators for the fly, or what other damage the fly might cause if they proliferate?

These flies won't lay things in human ears will they?
