Ok, ok ... no blow torch. Anyone wanna come over for a feast of boiled ants? Instead of being crispy like fried ants, they have a much softer, more delicate texture that is sure to please even the most discerning taste.
and now ... THEY ITCH! ugh!! This itch is worse than mosquito bites ... maybe on par with a wicked case of poison ivy (wish I had pictures of my wicked case a few years ago ... COVERED both legs ... rivaled any nasty pics you could find on the internet!).
I counted at least 19 welts on my leg. I am sure there are more bites, but the erythema and the close proximity of some of the bites to each other made it difficult to get a perfect count. Horrible creatures.
The are so bad that my mom does not think it was ants ... but I saw the little buggers.
I did not manage to locate the nest today. It was too hot and I decided to be a pansy and stay inside
