   Sounds like a lot like humans. The older people get the more openly agressive they become!

   Everytime I see anything about fire ants I remember my 10th grade World History teacher who told us a story about an explorer in either central or latin america who had a member of their party eaten alive by fire ants after he was captured and tied to a tree. I couldn’t get that out of my head. It seems like the most horrific way to die, because it happens from the inside!

   Fire ants are sweet.

   This almost makes me want to keep some baby fire ants as pets. Almost.

   The title of your post is incorrect–these are not “baby” ants, they are adults. Baby ants…well, look a lot like a maggot.

   Ants go through complete metamorphosis, so change radically from a larva to a pupa to an adult.

   This research is about young (recently emerged from a pupa) adult ants.

   I had no idea that young ants did this. I wonder how effective it is?
   However, about older women of any form, you must watch out for them. They don’t have anything to lose.
