Announcements
Correcting flawed submissions: I only make corrections if received by the 6pm deadline the day the incorrect post is published. This is so it can be fixed in the following issue from when it appeared. People posting For Sale items should check their posts in new daily issues for accuracy. If you send an incorrect submission, or you forget to include the photos, please send in a new, full corrected submission and ask me to ignore the previous, incorrect submission. I am too busy to keep track of partial submissions in different emails and patch them together. Your cooperation is appreciated.

‘Crazy ant’ species invades Costa del Sol homes: The so-called ‘crazy ant’ species, or Paratrechina longicornis, has been spotted in Malaga and Axarquia.
The tiny ants don’t bite humans, but they can be invasive as they often enter homes to find food, particularly fruit. They can also take over outdoor spaces as they feed on aphids. They have been given the name ‘crazy ant’ as they move “extremely quickly” when they are threatened and make “erratic movements” in their retreat.
