Strap in, folks, because it’s time for another episode of Humboldt Baywatch! That’s weekly feature on KHUM, the LoCO’s sister station of the FM airwaves, wherein DJ Midge Martin indulges her passion for the natural world by getting the 411 on this creature or that.

This week, Michelle Kunst of the Trinidad Coastal Land Trust stops by to drop some knowledge on one of Midge’s very favoritest animals — the humble ant! Specifically the thatcher ant, a regular denizen of the dunes who also makes her home on higher land, from time to time. 

Man, are these thatcher ants ever weird! Let’s tune in!
