Red imported fire ants with painful bites have taken hold in Europe.
Already a serious invasive species in the US and Australia, red imported fire ant nests have now been found in Sicily, Italy, and they could spread to other parts of Europe.
For people, red fire ant bites can be extremely painful due to their venom, which some people may even be allergic to.

Thes large ants turned up this summer for the first time. The thing about here is, there aren't any fire ants, so a variety of ant types get to live here.
These big ants are half again as large as the harvester ants, in at a good 1/2 inch or more.

Don't know what was going on here. These ladies were swarming up through a crack in the sidewalk. All workers as far as I could tell.
iNaturalist algorithm thinks they're "Immigrant Pavement Ants"

Excuse me, is this the way out of the nest?

I didn't have a lot of time to draw, this morning. So I went with a curvy trail of ants. For some reason, this one looks like a chart to me....and ant chart.
And that's a wrap for this week of #inkyDays. All of this week's drawings are now posted for my supporters on Patreon and Ko-fi:

“seven green woodpecker chicks consumed an estimated 1.5 million ants and pupae before leaving the nest. The droppings of a green woodpecker look like cigarette ash on top of an ant mound. Break them open and they are full of sad little ant faces looking like they don’t know what hit them.”

This morning my son and I were watching some fire #ants swarming over a dead #worm
So many #questions pop into my head?
- Did the fire ants kill the worm or did they find it dead?
- Are they removing pieces of the worm and taking them back to their ant hill or are they dragging the entire worm to their ant hill?
- Why do the ants often seem at cross-purposes with each other (some dragging, some walking over the worm)?

An unidentified moth with a luxurious sedimentary cloak wrapped around its shoulders.
The image also features the @futurebird -mandated photobombing ant, without which it would incur a 10% "missing ant" fee.

Happy Monday!
It's dark and muggy today, and it makes me think of ants for today's #inkyDays drawing.
New week, so new posts for my supporters. I'll be posting in-progress, finished drawings, and extras in them this week:
