Posted in: Venomous fire ants found in inland city in Aichi See in context
I live in Texas, in the USA and we have a Fire Ant problem that's out of control. The problem isn't just that they are venomous and can cause serious, sometimes fatal reactions in people who are allergic to them but the impact they have on native wildlife. They push out native species of ant and impact anything that feeds on ants. Texas used to have tons of a lizard called the Horned Lizard of "Horny Toad" which fed on ants. They cannot feed on fire ants and as the fire ants took over from the native species, they killed off these lizards so now they have become exceedingly rare. Stopping them from getting a foothold is important not just for people but for the protection of the native environment and people.
