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

Anaishi
Europe, from Portugal to East Siberia and northern Greece to the forest-tundra zone; introduced to parts of North America1
Ulaya, Asia
Nyumbani
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
Urefu
3.5 mm hadi 7 mm (0.1 in hadi 0.3 in)1
Kasi ya juu
takriban km 0.11 kwa saa (maili 0.07 kwa saa)
Nchi kavu, makadirio
Hula nini?
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

Jinsi ya kumtambua

  • Mainly red in colour, with a slightly darker head1
  • Workers are yellowish brown, 3.5 to 5.5 mm long1
  • Smooth, shiny frontal triangle on the head1
  • Queens are a little larger, 5.5 to 7.0 mm long, with a larger thorax1
  • Males have a darker body than queens and workers1

Mara nyingi huchanganywa na: Very similar to M. ruginodis. M. rubra is common in southern England and becomes rarer further north, whereas M. ruginodis is common all over the UK, including northern Scotland.1

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

Hatari kwa watu: InaumaInaweza kuuma sana, lakini karibu kamwe si jambo zito.

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

Hufanya nini akiogopa?

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

Akidunga

  • Osha na upoze sehemu zilizodungwa.
  • Mtu akipata shida ya kupumua, uso au koo likivimba, au akijisikia kuzimia, hiyo ni dharura ya mzio: piga namba ya dharura.

Daima piga namba ya dharura kwanza (112, 000, 911). Huu ni mwongozo wa jumla wa huduma ya kwanza, si ushauri wa kitabibu. Misingi ya huduma ya kwanza

Kaa salama

  • Kamwe usimguse, kumkamata wala kumchokoza mnyama wa porini, hata akiwa mdogo, na hata akionekana amelala au amekufa.
  • Mpe nafasi. Ukikutana naye, tulia, rudi nyuma polepole na umwache aende zake.
  • Akikudunga: tulia, usitikisike, piga namba yako ya dharura (112, 000, 911) au nenda hospitali haraka. Kumbuka alivyoonekana, picha husaidia.

Hakuwindi wewe. Hutumia sumu yake kukamata chakula au kujilinda, na hupendelea zaidi kujificha. Zaidi kuhusu kukaa salama

Ukweli

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

Kuvunja dhana potofu

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

Ukweli: 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
