Thanks Ava.

Luis, I heard about this behavior on the radio today; they mentioned that harvester ants do this, as Gilma says, before it starts to rain. Amazing!

It did rain Gilma, good observation.

Looks like they do the "Volcano" entrance just before the rain. I have notice that around here also.
