caribbean crazy ants

these are caribbean crazy ants, and they are another "welcome to statia" thing that we are trying to get used to over here! thankfully, that isn't my hand or anyone's that i know, but i know those ants!


1 tiny crumb on the floor or drip on the counter warrants the entire colony of ants to join the food party, and our little friends are also interestingly enough attracted to electrical equipment. they've been seen coming out of outlets, straightening irons, blow dryers, and computers. we had only heard about it until today. just about the "v" you can meet one of our little friends.....

 

sooooo annoying! nothing you can do to stop them, so we will now get used to little ants going in and coming out of the keys on our keyboard and hope they just go in and check things out and then leave. haha ya right! welcome to the caribbean - you think you've solved the ant problem in the kitchen, and they move to the desk!

NASTY!!! Wow, you are a trooper!! I can't imagine ants coming out of my keyboard. At least they are tiny and not giant ants everywhere?! :)
