“Facing biblical rains and historic flooding in South Carolina this week, giant rafts of fire ants have been spotted floating together in roving ant islands. This behavior allows entire colonies of fire ants to survive the floods, provided they can find dry land within a few days.”
“Giant rafts of fire ants are somehow surviving South Carolina floods”
The same behavior was observed this spring around lake lewisville when the levels went up so quickly.
Reminds me of my college fraternity days in the early 70"s, spring break at the Colorado River. Only we were in inner tubes with kegs of beer.
… and also driven by pheromones?
No, no, no. We were totally Green: Ethanol driven.
Drat. There go the parallels.
