“What?” Jenn stared at Nicki in surprise. “It’s a what?”
Her friend sighed. “As I said, at first I thought it was a combination of Solenopsis sylvestrii and Eciton burchellii—”
“I heard that. What I want to know is what is it?”
“They’re two different species of ant—”
“Ant? As opposed to uncle?” She only made the silly joke to lighten the tension in the situation.
Nick gave a dismissive snort. “I’d originally thought the print belonged to a combination fire ant and army ant. However, I’ve never seen anything like this before, and while there are similarities to the species of army ant that’s descended from prehistoric wasps—”
“Wasps?”
“I wish you’d let me finish a sentence, Genevieve.”
“Sorry.”
“No, you’re not.”
“No, I’m not,” she agreed, making an effort to conceal her amusement.
