What I do have here in Spain, in late August, are horrible little ants in the kitchen. You put anthing down for a few minutes and then find a line of small black ants leading mostly back to the rubbish bin or plastic bag waiting to be thrown out (and hopefully recycled). The ants are not there for most of the year, and this year I checked the date when they appeared - about 20th July. That was the same last year. (I didn't check the exact date).So despite the kitchen being thoroughly cleaned, they still reappear from somewhere. In the previous flat they formed a line to a gap under the door. No doubt fascinating biology but I am sick of them. I left the top pff a jar of jam for half an hour, and the jam now has a layer of small black ants in it. Did the ants evolve before I did? Probably.<br />el Mike Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18418259566805329563noreply@blogger.com
