The Asian needle ant is a small stinging ant that is native to Japan and mainland Asia. It has spread to the United States, where it is now common across much of the American South and along the East Coast. It matters because its sting can cause serious allergic reactions in some people, and it crowds out native ants.1

Hello arano
It likes moist, shaded places and often nests under stones, logs or debris, beside hardwood trees. In its native range it is found on rice-paddy dykes, and it has also been found in urban areas such as backyards and sidewalks.1

  • A stinging ant from the ponerine group1
  • Often nests near termite colonies, which are a reliable food source1
  • Looks very similar to Brachyponera luteipes, B. nigrita and B. obscurans, so it is often mistaken for them1

Ina heewi waylondireede e: It is commonly mistaken for Brachyponera luteipes, Brachyponera nigrita and Brachyponera obscurans because they look similar. Misidentification can mean people do not realise the seriousness of the sting.1

Its venom contains proteins that can trigger allergic reactions. The sting is painful and can leave people in distress. In some cases, allergic reactions cause anaphylaxis, a severe whole-body reaction, or urticaria, which is hives.1

Bone e yimɓe: MuusɗoIna waawi muusde sanne, kono hertaani wonde huunde mawnde.

The ant is not aggressive but will sting when disturbed. Its sting can cause anaphylaxis in some people. As it spreads into more urban areas, encounters with people are likely to increase.1

Hol ko ngal waɗata so ina hula?

Although not aggressive, it will sting when it is disturbed.1

1

In invaded areas, the native ant Aphaenogaster rudis was reduced by 96%.1

2

A study in North Carolina found that the Asian needle ant outnumbered all native ant species in most sample areas.1

3

Workers carry nestmates from one place to another when the colony moves nests. Unlike many ant species, they likely use visual cues rather than pheromone trails to do this.1

4

Queen ants have a special pouch that stores sperm, so they can mate once and keep reproducing for their whole lives.1

5

The European Union has listed it as an invasive alien species of Union concern, so it cannot be imported, bred, transported, sold or intentionally released in any EU member state.1
