Beware of What You Order...

Another tale of deadly insects in the Bug Files series. An excavation unearths some strange clusters that turn out to be eggs that can still hatch if water is added. An unscrupulous businessman sells the eggs through mail order ads in comic books. The eggs hatch into horrible ants that will eat just about anything (including you and me). The ants are ancient in origin. Although they are a natural species, they used to have natural predators that kept then under control. The voracious ants whose natural predators are now extinct quickly spread to become a world-wide problem.A wonderfully fun horror story. I have enjoyed the entire Bug Files series.
