    And when you do kill these ants, the survivors turn it to their advantage: They pile up the dead, sometimes using them as a bridge to cross safely over surfaces treated with pesticide.

    those are Argentinian ants (I think), they got em all over Cali. They have supercolonies that spread serious distances. I think there's one that runs the length of California. I read that in Argentina they have a supercolony that runs like 2,000 miles or somthing.

    I'm not sure what kind of ants we have...the ones I see EVERY-FUCKIN'-WHERE pretty much look and act just like those...but this past year I have been bitten by ants more than I ever have in my life. A bunch of those came one time when I had to pull over on an interstate to do a quick repair beneath my car. I stood up from that and had prpbably 500 ants on my arms and legs...and I still have the scars to prove it. But those were definitely fire ants. The ones that are in my house love to bite me on my buttocks while I sleep. Leave any drip of water or spilled food anywhere and they'll soon be all over it. There was a scene in Slacker where the dude with the van talks about the ant problem in Austin, how he has to keep all of his food in the fridge to keep it from being infested. I need to watch that again.

    It's bug crazy in San Diego. We've had tons of gigantic moths, and black beetles every where. I came home from a week's vacation recently and there were over 100 black widows in my front yard. I stopped counting when I'd killed 80 of them.

    I didn't even know about these ants till I read the paper yesterday. As long as they stay off my records, we're cool.

    That's my worst nightmare. I would not be able to deal.

    That would freak me out. I'm not a fan of spiders in general, but a shitload of black widows? Check, please!
