Yup...seen it myself here in Southern CA. U.S. human population hit 100m in ~1916, 200m in ~1967, and the nightly news just announced we hit 300m today. Projections are that the US will hit 400m within the next 50 years and just about each of the southwestern states are predicted to double in population by the year 2050. So where will the wild HL's populations be at that time? And given the fact that along with humans comes Fire Ants and Argentine Ants, where will the Harvester Ants population be at that time? Get's you thinking a little bit, don't it.
