The Rasberry ant

Houston is a lot like this
A phenomenom of the highest wildlife order is taking place in Houston.

Rasberry ants are taking over. Called "crazy" due to the way they haphazardly scamper to and fro with little regard for direction, they're taking over most of the yards and fields in and around Houston.

Reasons why we all should be very afraid:

1. According to officials, you can spray and kill whatever Rasberry ants you have on your property. But a billion others are just waiting around the perimeter with no regard for their fallen comrades ready to invade.

2. They don't sting (or are apt not to). A little too suspicious.

3. They chew up wiring.

4. They're currently invading NASA and Hobby Airport. Oh, so they're going after our space program and a busy regional airport? What next? The Astrodome!?

5. They're named after some exterminator dude -- Tom Rasberry -- who discovered them. Seriously? We're just naming insect species after guys who chug a half a case of Coors Light after work and fall asleep watching "CSI"?
