I hadn't read that story but have just read a plot summary.

Worth finding. The short story beats the movie hands down.
A FYI.
Inigenous peoples in the range of army ants actually like them.
They just vacate home with all edibles and animals when the ants come.
When the ants are gone, so are ALL vermin.

That sounds like a good plan. You could leave the stroppy teenagers behind

Brenda, I love ants (to photograph not to crawl around on my picnic) so thanks for sharing yours.

Great shot Brenda. Those dorsal spines are nasty looking. Beautiful detail in this shot.

You have most surely gotten this ant's ID.

I will quote Wikipedia now, "
" M. ruginodis is a species of ant that lives in northern parts of Europe and Asia".
May be 20 queens in a colony of 2500 individuals.
I once had both Wilson's "Ants" and Wilson and Holdobler's
book on ants.TOMES. But a ' tome' of information.
Went when I downsized.
Oh, the memories of a man in his old age......
Nice work, Brenda. ID and shooting.

Depends on how its hair is combed.
