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

Ihlala

Europe, from Portugal to East Siberia and northern Greece to the forest-tundra zone; introduced to parts of North America1

I-Yurophu, I-Asia

Ekhaya

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

Ubude

3.5 mm kuya ku-7 mm (0.1 in kuya ku-0.3 in)1

Ijubane eliphezulu

cishe 0.11 km/h (0.07 mph)

Sidlani?

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

Indlela yokusibona

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

Ivamise ukudidaniswa ne: 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

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

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

Uma sihlaba

Geza bese upholisa izindawo ezihlatshiwe.
Uma umuntu ephefumula kanzima, ebuso noma emphinjeni kuvuvukala, noma ezizwa ezoquleka, lesi yisimo esiphuthumayo se-allergy: shayela inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo.

Njalo shayela kuqala inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911). Lokhu kuyiseluleko sosizo lokuqala esijwayelekile, akusona iseluleko sezokwelapha. Izisekelo zosizo lokuqala

Hlala uphephile

Ungalokothi uthinte, ubambe noma ugcone isilwane sasendle, ngisho noma sincane, futhi ngisho noma sibukeka silele noma sifile.
Sinike isikhala. Uma uhlangana naso, hlala uzolile, uhlehle kancane bese usiyeka sihambe ngendlela yaso.
Uma sikuhlaba: hlala uzolile, ungashukumi, shayela inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911) noma uye esibhedlela ngokushesha. Khumbula ukuthi besibukeka kanjani, isithombe siyasiza.

Asikuzingeli wena. Sisebenzisa ubuthi baso ukuze sibambe ukudla noma ukuzivikela, futhi singancamela ukucasha. Okwengeziwe mayelana nokuhlala uphephile

Amaqiniso

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

Queens can live up to fifteen years.1

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

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

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

Umqothuli wezinganekwane

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

Iqiniso: 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
