A fire ant is a small but aggressive species of ant known for its painful sting. It belongs to the genus Solenopsis and is characterized by its reddish-brown coloration. Fire ants are highly organized and live in large colonies with distinct roles for each member. They construct large, dome-shaped nests in soil or mounds above ground. Fire ants are named for their potent sting, which can cause a burning sensation and may result in painful welts or allergic reactions in some individuals. They are native to South America but have spread to other parts of the world, often becoming invasive pests. Fire ants are known for their territorial behavior and will aggressively defend their nests when threatened.
