what the small ants must feel when
the dreaded foe appears in their
midst
In Texas this creature is called the
"sheep-killer." This is not true. The
ant-killer is always present where
there are dead or decaying animals,
for here it will find many of the
small insects upon which it preys.
When you first see the ant-killer
you are little puzzled perhaps to
l,now in what class you must place
him. He is about 3 inches long. re-
semblng somewhat either a spider,
scorpion or vlnegerone. 1t belongs
in the class Arachnida, and, there
fore, is related to the spiders. 1t is
also cousin of the whip-scorpions
mites, scorpions and spiders. There
fore you begin with a feeling that it
is likely to be something to avoid.
though after you witness the actions
of the ant-killer you have respect for
the efficiency of his tactics at least.
Upon the ants this creature usually
focuses his attention. First he works
swiftly to cripple or injure his VIC
tim. This seems to be for the reason
of fprotection. Ants are biters and

ground mass sucking the body Juices
Of the late ant. AS soon as one
creature is disposed OF the hunt is
on again.
Many who have witnessed the ant
killer at work are very fearful for it.
1t Is toothless and has no stinger.
1t can inflict a painful wound with
Its very sharp, strong pincers, which
have formic acid on them, but it is
not so dangerous as mosquito.
Usually these creatures work under
the cover of darkness. They are
abundant in the arid tropical and
semi-tropical countries all over the
earth. During the spring they are
indeed noticeable, for it is courting
time and each is seeking a mate.
Then their hunting grounds are fair
ly alive with them, and millions OF
ants. also being abroad, fall victims
to their formidable foes.

dreds may come to the rescue, sting

killer works speedily to reduce his
prey to eatable food at once.
There are large pincers which pro-

and these hold the ant securely while
its body is ground into small bits,
and the mouth, about the size of a
