FIRE ANTS

[saltysenior]

An unfortunate happening makes me ask this question.....when the ants sneak up both ankles and legs , how or why do all of them start biting at the same time ??

They use tiny extremely hi frequency radios to signal each other.

I thought they emitted pheromes ?? (sp)

Hey Quack, don't mess this up with your facts!

The boss ant waits till everybody is ready,then he hollers "BITE!" real loud.

They do knock fire all at once

They have studied all aspects of guerrilla warfare and have become experts. They can sneak up your pants legs and position themselves in sensitive areas effectively. They then bite all at once.

They are right up there with yellow jackets, guinea wasps and scorpions in the "critters that I hate" group.

As someone above said, they let out a chemical message so to speak that basically says...ATTACK.
