RIFA - Red Imported Fire Ants. The photo above is a recently killed toad which is being consumed by Red Imported Fire Ants. It appears the ants are building a mound encircling the toad. RIFA can kill toads and other small prey. I don't know if this toad was killed by them or died some other way. I saw a smaller toad nearby that was just a skeleton with a similar ant structure around it.
