Thousands of red ants float on top of flood waters in Houston.
HOUSTON, Texas (WTVD) -- There's no rescue mission for them, but fire ants are doing whatever they need to, in order to survive the major flooding in Houston.
The insects used their bodies to build a floating island on top flood waters to keep their colony together. These colonies can sometimes contain up to 100,000 ants.
