This article yes. There are other stories around Monty.
This, for instance from another article:
The super ant’s attraction towards electricity is stronger than its compulsion to eat or drink, meaning it can gnaw through electricity cables and nest in electrical equipment and plug sockets. These ants usually nest in electrical items and this means they can pose a fire risk and when they swarm can cause blackouts.

Re: General Chit Chat
I was wondering how I could disguise the mossy patches in my beard, now I know how. Fashionable too!
In fact if I put artificial flowers in and lit them up at night with discrete in-beard Led lights I might even manage to attract a colony of super ants to fauna-ise my florally enhanced facial hair. Win win win situation.

Re: General Chit Chat
Or get one of those 'Maori' type tatoos around your wrist, and then the dirty bit won't show up as much.

Re: General Chit Chat
Definitely the HP sauce approach. i clean my copper pans with it. You should try it on your brasses (the ornamental type) as well . Just put on, leave 5 minutes, rinse off.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.
