The site has been very quiet, mostly because I've been working on a grant proposal, then hitting the swimming pool at the apartment complex after work, then mostly hanging out away from the computer. Just wanted to make sure that people knew that the ants haven't thrown me on the trash midden. Of course, there have been a lot of Camponotus hanging around the apartment, but I'm sure they're harmless -- probably just after some water out of the sink. See, there's one now. Hey, whattya doing, ant? Hey, leggo my leg. Put ... me... DOWN! HEY!!! YOU!!!! ANT!!!! What part of DOWN do you NOT understand ....?

(The 'Pede would like to warn other 'pedes to look out for Amblyopone. What they do to chilopods is just plain not pretty.)
