Actually...you're right Mouse'...the male has a red 'stache and the female black. He must be young as he was rather small compared to the full grown adults.

It was actually a hard shoot...he would go inside knock a bit and then the time he showed at his door and spat the wood out was about a tenth of a second and in he went. I think I shot 100 trying to get the debris...maybe 30 had the chips flying.
Not great photos but watching the process was cool...thanks,

For those of you who havn't had the displeasure of feeling Fire Ants...I stuck this cup on a mound...not an ant to be seen at first...and the image was taken within 2 seconds of putting it there. they are FAST and relentless. No wonder they take down cattle...ouch!

Okay...here's my first encounter real quick like...I was remodeling a house which was on a corner lot in a "well to do" neighborhood. I went outside, turned on the hose in the front yard to clean a drywall knife...I knelt down and instantly felt my legs burn like acid had been poured on them.

Right up the shorts and in seconds I had over 100 bites...and they DO NOT LET GO! So here I am tearing my clothes off as fast as possible jumping and yelling...they were everywhere and you have to pinch the heads off to get them off. Eventually after a few cars stopped, neighbor lady came outside...yadayada and I'm neked and fearing for my life. Not funny!

Now they are not so bad I think I'm immune or something:whistle:

But it's still not as good as the kite story, I'll bet. :duh:
