Although termites are not related to ants, they have a similar way of life. Sometimes they are even called white ants. Their huge nests are made from sand mixed with their own droppings!
Drought, Fires and Snakes
Drought, Fires and Snakes Thousands of snakes, many of them poisonous, have
been driven from their usual habitats throughout the
drought-parched state of Florida in search of water, and have
bitten numerous residents. The infestations come as scores of
wildfires have blackened thousands of hectares of brush and forest
in recent weeks. People along the entire length of the state have
reported seeing snakes in their gardens, and 38 snake bites have
occurred in South Florida alone so far this year. None of the
snakebite victims died because of an active state program that
keeps anti-venom in abundant suplly. SATURDAY, MAY 29, 2001
