I occasionally get them in carrion-baited pitfalls, but that could just be by chance. Our ants are at best omnivores...again, I've rarely seen ants on a carcass that I've worked with. Blow Flies, Carrion Beetles (Silphidae), some Rove Beetles, and others feed on carrion. Randy _________________________________ RF Lauff Way in the boonies of Antigonish County, NS.
