    1. No not red ants. These are Cottonseed Bug nymphs.

  2. They are the most red ants that I have ever seen. I thought it was a plant at first.

    1. Sorry... didn't mean to alarm you. These are definitely not fire ants but rather little Cottonseed Bug nymphs.

  4. I too thought they might have been red ants and wondered how they have come so far south. They are quite pretty little bugs.
