Singaporean ants like iPods… in Fiji.
File under "news of the friggin' weird," and get out your maps because this tale involves ants from Singapore, a traveler from New Zealand, and an airport in Fiji. The dude purchased an iPod at Fiji's Nadi Airport
(vending machine?) and upon arriving home in Auckland,
discovered that 50 live Singaporean ants were living it up inside the iPod's packaging. Apparently, Singaporean ants are extremely aggressive insects that prey on other insects and eat through fabric, plastic and wiring, although there seems to be a conscpicuous dearth of information on them via the interwebs. Anywho, the ants are more residential pest than human health risk, but we doubt New Zealand is terribly thrilled about their introduction to the country as iPod stowaways.
