Fire ants live in colonies of around 200,000 ants, typically composed of female worker ants and one queen ant.

The tunnels can extend up to 25 feet away from the mound.

They typically eat insects, honeydew, plant nectar, seeds, fruits, and dead animals.

They were introduced on a cargo boat from South America, and have since spread aggressively.

They will attack anything that they feel is intruding in their space.

They are a competitive species and will psh other species out of the area to protect their territory.
