Hah! Wait til you get hit by the whole swarm of them. They do actually wait and send out some kind of signal (this per the Discovery Science channel) then all of them chow down at once. I used to think I just imagined that they did this, but science has confirmed it. There have been occasions when, once they hit me, I looked down and saw my whole foot covered with them. Very painful, plus it all swells--and it doesn't go away soon.

Are you talking about fire ants or libs?

I think they ought to go field dress and butcher a javelina just on the private side of the property line in full view. Every fifteen minutes. Leave the gutpiles. In a few hours it'll stink to high heaven.

It is a scent put out by one to tell the others to chow down NOW!!!

A swarm is something I have no intention of encountering. I must've come across some sort of advance scout, or got the heck out of there before his pals showed up. I had a bump there for a week. No fun. I almost feel sorry for Lefty if they've encountered these things. Almost.
