Will it ever stop? After I kicked in their nest, they kept coming. After I trampled their marching hoards, still they kept on, hefting bits of leaf and crumb. They slalom through the hairs on my arm, searching for a way in.

There is something very fascinating about ants marching and doing their work. This was fun, kymm!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had fun. Thanks, Gina! They are persevering little buggers.
DeleteIntriguing work, Kymm! Great to see your words again, dear.
ReplyDeleteThanks, TIZ! The feeling is absolutely mutual <3
Delete*shivers* I find them rather sinister, those ants. Loved it, Kymm! Welcome to the gargleblaster!
ReplyDeleteOh, your instinct is right about these ants. Thanks for the love, Christine, and thanks for the welcome! Glad to be here.
DeleteI love watching ants but this made me shiver, well done.
ReplyDeleteYea, watching them is fine until they get too close. Thank you!
DeleteIn Georgia you would definitely react to an ant. We have fire ants and they bite.
ReplyDeleteHaha I bet they do! Thanks, Ann!
DeleteChilling!
ReplyDeleteHa! Not as chilling as yours. Thanks, Susan!
DeleteCreepy. I enjoyed reading it.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it. Thanks, IR!

DeleteHaha. Thanks, Jo-Anne! Yeah, ants, or whatever is trying to get in there : )
ReplyDeleteAs long as they keep their distance, right? Sorry for making you shake, Renada, but thanks for feeling it!
ReplyDeleteThose darn things get in everywhere!
ReplyDeleteOh, the places they'll go! Thanks, Jen!
DeleteSo persistent! Amazing creatures, but I still don't like them much!
ReplyDeleteMy feelings exactly!

ReplyDeleteBugs are creepy, but I have always been fascinated by ants.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Paul! Good to see you, too : )
Deleteblech!! i'm so not a bug person- no matter the kind.
ReplyDeleteHaha Can't live with them, can't get rid of them.
DeleteEeeek! Now I am all itchy! Well done, Kymm!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tina! Loved your itch-free piece : )
DeleteArgh,no!And even when they are the non-biting types,the way they make one's akin crawl-even when one has dusted them all off,one feels their ghostly feet scurrying all over-eww!Creepy!Great take Kymm:-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Atreyee! Sorry for making your skin crawl - hehe
