I'm in the Dallas area and my take on the drop in box turtle spottings (used to find several a year - now maybe every other year) is the proliferation of fire ants - not attacking the adults, but burrowing down into freshly laid nests and feasting on the eggs. I have absolutely no proof of this theory, but the fire ant invasion has wreaked havoc with other animals...
