Little Red Ants and Strawberries

We went out this morning to pick some strawberries from the plants we have on our property, but when we started to remove them and look at the individual berries many of them had small holes. After farther inspection, we noticed that from some of these little holes crawled little red ants.

Now when I say 'little red ants' I am meaning these tiny little things that are no bigger than the nail on my pinkie finger. I haven't noticed them on any of our other garden plants, so I'm thinking they are just partial to my strawberries.

Thankfully, we were able to save a few from their clutches. Home grown strawberries taste so much better than those from the store. Yum! :)
