Link doesn't work. Although I've heard of them but I can't remember any info on them. Hmmmmm, I think a Google search is calling.

Annoying indeed which is why I had to let you know. And now this brings back memories. The little devils those things are. Told you that the info on them was in the back of my mind.

And that link dug it up. Thank you. I'm going to blog about these. Bad <edit>. I'd like to see them taken on the Driver, Army, Bulldog, and Jack Jumper ants. Reckon they'll stand a chance? Don't think so.

And your welcome. I'm loving the little <edit> but they're getting out of control and need to be put under control before they start wiping out native ant species.


LORD HELP SAVE THE NATIVE ANTS AND CONTROL THE BASTARDS!!!!!

I just get done telling the guys to watch their potty-mouths because Habibi18 is a youngster, and now *you're* being a potty-mouth!  ;-)

(BTW:  Your blogsite is very impressive!)

Thankies! Glad you like it! Wish that I could post more often on it though like I used too but atm alot of crap has been going on in my life and I haven't had time too, but I'm glad that you enjoy it.

Oh and Caco I so agree on that one. Just blogged about them a few hours ago. Check it out. I couldn't resist quoting some of the article especially the first part. Like I said they're ants from Hell.

After reading this thread i went to youtube to find more infos about them.

I found this very long but very informative video. Thought some of you might be interested in watching it . It basicly does answer any questions anyone might have about them.
