Posted by: brhaco at Fri Mar 14 17:15:47 2008 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by brhaco ] box turtles are all but gone. Old timers say they were once extremely common in our area, but started to disappear soon after fire ants moved in. One venerable OLD girl now is living out her last years in Ron Tremper's courtyard-where fire ant control is zealously practiced. She was the first one seen in his area in many years. One local tells of finding adults almost dead from massed fire ant attacks-their defensive reaction of closing up the hinge of their plastron and sitting immobile was counterproductive in this case. | ||
