Somethings only happen in South Florida.

Another possibility for the larger ants is Harvester Ants. Typically Carpenter Ants do not build mounds.

Probably only in Florida that a man can have his arm eaten by an alligator and get charged with feeding that gator. LOL

Also, this happens with deer, panthers, bear and other critters because people cut the fences near bridges to fish. But, it happens more than it should.

Fire ants. I bought some mulch this spring and never thought about fire ants till I opened the second bag. Whoda thunk they'd be in a closed bag. Never did bother to count the stings on my hands and arms. Little &^%$^&*(*%##^^*^$$%(&!!!!!!!!!

Think I was watching dirty jobs a couple years back when they were doing something around gater nests. Anyway one of the guys stepped up on top of the gater nest and got a foot full of fire ants. Camera looked his way a couple times. Not a happy guy for sure. I have an idea how he felt.

That's why I don't live in Florida!!! Gonna be kinda hard for the guy to claim he had no hand in the matter.

.....and gators to live by.......wait for it.......never bite the hand that feeds you.

So do I, brother. So do I. That's why I live in Indiana. That's also why I won't live in the south. Well, that and fire ants, killer bees, monster boa pythons, Gambian rats, Coral snakes, sharks, jelly fish, barracuda, Nile monitor lizards...hey, I'm just gettin' warmed up.

PS: Rick, ya forgot the nutria - sort of a cross between a rat, a possum and a beaver. They won't hurt folks; they'll just ugly 'em to death.
