   So, I've been thinking about getting into ant keeping. Anyone have any idea when Nuptial Flights happen in Israel? I imagine no, but better to ask!

   Ants are intensely interesting to me and have only grown more-so as I've studied ant keeping and ants in general. A lot of what I thought I knew has turned out to be exceedingly basic and narrow in focus.

   I'll keep you guys up to date once I get things rolling.

     @Absinthe @freemo @mngrif The most venomous insect in the world is an Ant. The Maricopa Harvester Ant (Pogonomyrmex maricopa) in the western US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pogonomyrmex_maricopa

     I love plants with Oaxalic acid in them. We have Yellow Woodsorrel that grows all around here (it really grows all around the world).. I get excited finding it and love eating it.

     There is a guy on youtube who intentionally gets stung by all the most painful venomous creatures in the world (mostly insects)... dude is an idiot but its fun to watch.

     @Absinthe

     It would depend on how the word "crazy" is used. If you mean it to be clinically insane and not a healthy person mentally, then yea that might be rude.

     However if you use it to mean "wow" or "I cant beleive they do that" or something similar then I'd say no, it isnt insensitive.

     Politeness in language, IMO, is more about intent than a specific choices of words.

     As someone with Native American blood I have deep respect for aboriginal traditions such as these. I am just not particularly delicate with my words is all.
