As if the catastrophic floods in Houston haven’t done enough damage, people are now reporting large colonies of fire ants floating on the rising water. These fire ants appear to have an outrageous survival mechanism. Apparently fire ants already have a slight resistance to water on their own, but nothing so strong as when they work together. Colonies will link together to be able to stay afloat even in the severe flooding Texas is experiencing. People are thoroughly disturbed by what Mother Nature hath wrought.
