Beware of fireants, they like grassy areas and quickly swarm in mass if you step on their mounds. Their stings are painful.

Fire ant bites: Treatment, symptoms, what they look like
Yep, the fire ants got me good at our postal station/rec center recently. My first ever experience with them. Their nest was down below the grass blades, so until they started biting/stinging me I didn’t even notice it was there. We see many visible mounds along the fence that borders a big preserve/marsh here, so TV isn’t really doing much to eliminate them.
