we are in a stage 1 drought in north georgia ( u s).
this afternoon, i was doing some cleaning outside, tossing damp paper towels on the ground, to gather up and throw away when i finished what i was doing.
when i got done and went to pick them up, they had ants on them.
the ants smelled the water and came to the damp towels.
first time i have ever seen this , ever.
hot and dry for us.
