[Texascavers] tawny crazy ants

2013-08-23 Thread Mixon Bill
Crazy ants have been in the press off and on for over 15 years and  
haven't driven us crazy yet. Maybe these tawny crazy ants are  
significantly different, but maybe not. The info on the other crazy  
ant on the AM site is very similar. Anyway, thanks, George, for  
pointing us to the Texas AM site, which appears to be authoritative.  
A press release quoting only a guy who runs an exterminating company  
(and who named the ants after himself) is hardly worth notice.


Anyway, sounds like another species that is, with human help, finding  
a nice new niche. Who says humans only harm species? -- Mixon


A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is  
absolutely fatal.

Yes, Bill, tawny crazy ants are different and we only have ourselves to blame 
for their presence in Texas.
