I think where I live the red ants have been totally pushed out. In the 8 or 9 years I've been here I can't recall seeing a single one

The ant adventure seems to be over though. I discovered where they were getting in and sealed it up. Haven't seen any for days, unless I'm outside.
I'm a big jealous that you all get such interesting bugs! The only unusual things I've seen here has been a huge striped June bug one time, and a hummingbird moth late one evening. That latter one was pretty cool
