And I should mention the ants here. Some our like ours. Some are hu-fucking-mongous! At least an inch long. Jaws that could tear a good slice out of you. And unbreakable. I stood on one - when I took my flat soled shoe off, it looked at me, shrugged and then attacked the shoe.
Four of them recently wandered off carrying Mrs TMR (to be), but unless they are deaf too, I am sure she will be back.
Four of them also took out a 3 inch lizard that made the mistake of crossing their path.
The old magnifying-glass trick just pisses them off even more...
