The (Nearly) Invincible Ants of Central Italy

When I last toured Italy I had the fortune of stopping and parking my van for a week without needing to drive it anywhere.

I was located in Central Italy and able to use a car to drive into the towns and cities for shows where the lanes were too small and steep to get the van there.

All in all this was a great time to be touring and the only downpoint of sorts was that the static placement of the tour van ment I found myself housing some uninvited guests.

Black ants with Red Heads began appearing daily.

At first I thought little of the sighting (often while driving) of Black ants with Red heads appearing on the windshield and around the dashboard.

But After a while it became completely common place for 5 – 10 of these guys to take a wander while I sped down the highway.

Even after I left Italy and continued into Austria the sightings remained. Infact they stayed visible even upon my return to the UK.

As the winter came and went I thought that would be the end but alas not.

I don’t know what it was that saw them off but eventually after pretty much a year they seem to have moved on.

OR HAVE THEY!!!!!!……….

What may be there to greet me when I wake up one day.
