What looks like a clump of peat moss is really a fire ant colony floating around until they find dry land. If there really is a hell, these stinging little SOBs would be permanent fixtures. When there’s a flood, fire ants instinctively band together to make a “raft” to bob along indefinitely. It’s a trick they learned in their original habitat, the jungles and rivers of South America where sudden downpours can sweep away their mounds. If the first responders weren’t so busy rescuing people and pets, I’d like to hope they found a way to scoop up these little assholes to drop them into a furnace.
Be grateful my friends in the North. It’s too cold for them to thrive but with Climate Change heating up the Earth, they’ll be coming soon.
