ants

Fire ants are aggressive, stinging insects known for their painful bites. They belong to the genus Solenopsis and are often found in warm regions, particularly in the southern United States. They build large mounds and are notorious for their ability to swarm when their nest is disturbed. Fire ants are not just a nuisance; their stings can cause allergic reactions in some people. They also have an impact on local ecosystems, preying on other insects and sometimes competing with native species.
