OK, I said Army ants, are they the same thing? 5 took me a while but I finally got it. And I didn't know S. Carolina had a Florence. Guessed Isle of Man and got it right. Woohoo!

I think that driver ants are on the African continent and Army ants are in South America... they aren't the same but similar;
BBC - Science & Nature - Articles - Ants can't hurt you, can they?
