Comment on Fire ants will form rafts after floods. Some being able to stay afloat for weeks!
Blooper@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoFun story - as a kid my backyard in-ground pool would occasionally get these grapefruit sized and rafts. No idea why or how they would do it, but somehow they’d find themselves floating around in there. And if you don’t look too closely it just looks like a dead leaf that landed in the pool.
Dove in one hot summer day. Came up for air. Facefull of ants. Never again.
