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

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

Niba itera urubori

  • Oza aho zateye urubori kandi uhakonjeshe.
  • Niba umuntu ahumeka bimugoye, akabyimba mu maso cyangwa mu muhogo, cyangwa akumva agiye guta ubwenge, ni ikibazo cyihutirwa cya aleriji: hamagara nimero y'ubutabazi.

Buri gihe banza uhamagare nimero y'ubutabazi (112, 000, 911). Izi ni inama rusange z'ubutabazi bw'ibanze, si inama za muganga. Ibanze by'ubutabazi bw'ibanze

Irinde akaga

  • Ntuzigere ukora, ufata cyangwa ushotora inyamaswa yo mu gasozi, nubwo yaba ntoya, kandi nubwo yasa n'isinziriye cyangwa yapfuye.
  • Yihe umwanya. Niba uhuye n'imwe, tuza, usubire inyuma buhoro buhoro kandi uyireke yigendere.
  • Niba imwe igutereye urubori: tuza, ntunyeganyege, hamagara nimero y'ubutabazi (112, 000, 911) cyangwa ujye ku bitaro vuba. Ibuka uko yasaga, ifoto irafasha.

Ntigushakisha ngo ikugirire nabi. Ikoresha ubumara bwayo kugira ngo ifate ibyo kurya cyangwa yirinde, kandi ikunda cyane kwihisha. Ibindi ku kwirinda

Ibintu by'ukuri

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

Usenya ibinyoma

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

Ukuri: 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
