The European fire ant is a small red ant that lives across much of Europe and Asia, and has spread to parts of North America. It nests under stones, under fallen trees and in soil, including in meadows and gardens. It is worth knowing about because it will defend its nest aggressively and has a stinger.1

Hello arano
Lives under stones and fallen trees, and in soil. It is very common in meadows and gardens in Europe and the UK, so people often meet it there.1

Ko honɗun ngal ñaamata?
Feeds on honeydew produced by aphids and on many kinds of insects and other small invertebrates. It also eats pollen, which is rarely recorded in ants of the temperate zone. Workers search the area around the nest for plant and animal food.1

These ants are aggressive. They often attack rather than run away, and will attack any creature that disturbs their nest. They are less aggressive than the red imported fire ant.1

Attacks any creature that disturbs its nest, rather than running away.1

Colonies can have up to one hundred queens in a single nest.1

2

Queens can live up to fifteen years.1

3

Workers pick up dead nest-mates and carry them up to 3 metres away from the nest.1

4

The larvae of the Alcon blue and scarce large blue butterflies use this ant as their main host.1

5

Nuptial flights in Europe usually take place from late July to mid-August, when hundreds of young queens and males fly to mate. The males die afterwards, and the queens shed their wings to start new colonies.1

Bonnoowo fenaandeeji

Fenaande: The smaller queens, once thought to be a separate social parasite called M. microrubra, are a different species.

Goonga: More recent DNA analysis shows they share a gene pool with the regular queens, so they are not a different species. They are a smaller queen caste (microgynes) that can also found their own colonies.1
