FireRANT

It must be tough being a fire ant, knowing that nobody likes you and all.  Perhaps they exact their revenge on haters by going after dwindling species, like the bobwhite quail of Arkansas.  The Delta Farm Press reports that fire ants may be responsible for the dropping numbers of bobwhite quail in the state. 

"Fire ants may be to blame for some bobwhite deaths," said Arkansas Extension wildlife specialst Becky McPeake.

Get this: She says fire ants are attracted by the moisture of cracked quail eggs and attack baby quail as they hatch, killing them.  Talk about quail hunting!

UPDATE:  How could we forget?  Fire ants have at least one friend, who we mentioned waaaay back in June.
