Ants!
We took the girls out for their walk tonight. We just arrived in our park two days ago. We noticed ants on us the other night after we went down to the grassy patch. It rained really hard this evening...

OK - you piqued my curiosity. They appear to be "Little Fire Ants" (Crazy Ants ARE a type of ant, but they don't sting/bite) Here's their info - basically, at 1/16" long, they are darn hard to see....
Little Fire Ants
OMG! They fit that description exactly!
Thank You for providing the link!
""Nest Sites & Characteristics: Multiple queens. Nest in exposed soil, leaf litter, in rotten wood, hollow twigs or other plant cavities, under flower pots, or on the underside of objects left on ground.""
Yup, You leave 'anything' on the ground, and go to pick it up they are under it and then all over you biting.
And BTW thanks for clearing up that there really IS a type of ant called Crazy Ants. Personally I thought my new Floridian friends were a little bit, well you know,
for telling me they were called Crazy ants. I thought they were pulling my leg about that one.
Don't know about you but "I" am just about at my wits end trying to deal with, learn about all the different bugs,critters, which ones are poisonous and green, black and red mold that grows on EVERY darn thing you own down here. Not to mention my horrific experience of learning what leaves from a tree can kill your dogs. :R
I just keep saying to myself: there is no snow, there is no snow, I really can love Florida! :B
