Wordless Wednesday - Ashnead's Acrobat Ant

by Grasshopper 25. November 2009 00:10

We saw this sign in Myakka State Park on one of the towers of the Suspension Bridge recently. I thought it would offer you some humor today on Wordless Wednesday!

"When alarmed the ant runs about with its abdomen bent over its head, presenting a flattened stinger with a droplet of chemical repellant on the tip!"

I think I know some people who can do this too!

Wow thts amazing. They may be small but they don't play. That stinger sounds like it packs a wallop!

Btw, I'm sure I know a few who run around like that too!

Ants scare the hell out of me... my brother at 39, died from fire ant venom and anaphalaxys. So yeah - ants are evil little things to some people!!

Thanks for your comment, I'm sorry to hear of your brothers severe reaction and his resultant death, my thoughts are with you at this time of Thanksgiving when we celebrate with our families and remember lost love ones. You are in my prayers.

Interesting, who would have known. lol You've been busy, the recipes look fantastic and I picked Thanksgiving to NOT cheat on my diet! Thanks for stoppping by today, I was up to my eye balls in work. We'll be back next week. Going to take your apple cider vinegar advice, been a long time since I drank it. Acid does dissolve calcium so it just might help bone spurs! Happy WW and have a lovely Thanksgiving!
