Could salvation from ants be just around the corner?
Our crack researchers have identified a potential new weapon against the most dangerous of the ant warriors, the fire ant. Through funding provided in part from our own resources, researchers at Texas A&M have identified a natural predator of the fire ant. There is a tiny phorid fly that lays eggs on the fire ants, and the eggs hatch into maggots inside the ant and eat away their brains.
Here is the story from the Houston Chronicle: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/headline/metro/6420449.html
This new weapon, once fully operational, could provide the tipping point we've been waiting for to control the invading armies.
