yes there are. where do you think they got the fire ant fist form and fire ant double broadsword form? the style is known for its pincher like replication of the ants. its a very rare form and not many monks know it. :o :D

I've never seen any fire ants. I have seen centipedes, spiders as fat as your big toe and wicked mantids, and huge rats, but no fire ants. I do know that a lot of people have been bitten/stung there, but not by ants.

All the locals freak out when they see them. They squash them violently.

The rats, well, they're really big. And the locals say "even the rats know kung fu" because they are really agressive and scrappy.

Don't they generally call those "Supper"? Or perhaps that is at one of the temples in one of the countries to the SouthEast.

Not that I'd support a protien based diet but I do believe that is Atkins approved.;) :D
