Here's the first couple...anyone?\
I saw these last year, but up by the workshop. The extension office said they were common field ants!
This year, they were out under the pumpkin patch and carrying or transporting these brown seed like things to the grass area outside the fence.
Could it be? Duffle bags for their army?
Oh, their butts are black and their bodies are bright red. Almost glow in the sun!
