While wandering around the back yard with the dogs, I noticed a weird spot in the ground.
I looked closer and realized it's a big old anthill. With big ants. These aren't the little ants I usually see; these guys are substantial.
We have ant-killer sprinkles, but the anthill's pretty far away from the house, and I don't really mind the ants anting around out in the yard. If they come in the house, however, all bets are off.
Then, on the way back in, I noticed weird specks stuck in a spiderweb between one of the deck chairs and the deck railing.
I thought some spider had gotten lucky and got a whole bunch of gnats to eat or something. Upon closer inspection, the specks turn out to be little spiderlings, doing the wind-dispersal parachute-web thing.
I don't have a spider issue, so I find them completely adorable.
On your way, little spiders! Go forth and eat lots of bugs! Preferably mosquitoes and stink bugs.
