Shades of that scene from Little House on the Prairie:

A destructive menace is heading west on I.H. 10 with San Antonio in its sites. It's the crazy Raspberry ant that was first spotted in Houston in 2002. No one knows where it came from or how to control it but it reproduces faster than any insect experts have ever seen.
...
Raspberry tells this story of a woman who called his office two weeks ago.

"While the lady was talking to us she was telling to her 2 year old honey it's ok they won't bite you, They were crawling over over her baby, " he said.

Texas... it's like a whole other country planet!
