While the minuscule monsters have traditionally attacked only people who stepped on their turf, they've recently brought their mayhem indoors as well. Says Marion Bernhardt, 78, of West Palm Beach, Florida, who last year survived an ant assault in a hospital bed: "I was stung all up and down my legs, and I had welts all over them and on my side.

Stroupe also changed Oakhurst's music, switching from...
...Gables and there were these little tiny frogs. One of them jumped into my apartment and I caught it. I was going to throw it out, but I did that grasshopper trick where you put your hands over the frog, and it was jumping up and down onto my palm. I eventually caught it and threw it out the door but then I started tripping. It was amazing. I started seeing shooting sparks and I was, like, dude, this was amazing.
