Ok now this has creeped me out alot I have a queen that looks like that... but i cant see its stinger...

[Kiam]

btw

I heard some info about sending Solenopsis (fire ant) from South America to Europe ,my friend also received one colony ,so I will try to ask him if he´ll be online on ICQ ... looks interesting ant on photo ... maybe I´ll try some small colony ,later

Skippy you wont get a small colony these grow to a big colony very very fast...

[miszt]

It probly isnt, but i've pmmed u a contact that you need to speak to if u suspect it is, please dont ignore this, Fire Ants in the UK would be an absolute disaster, as it has been for every country they have invaded

[Kiam]

hmm ok skippy I dont know if i can send you it atm ok ?

[Skippy]

ok ,kill them ... I dont like fire ants so ..... I think no only I ,but all world

-and ,if some fire ants will arrived in Slovakia ,all peoples will think about my getting it into nature ... and I dont want to pay / go to jail for some stupid Solenopsis

Keep this in mind. Fire ants are dangerous and better not let them out in nature, but that is for all species you import from out of your country, not only for Fire ants. If you like keeping them be sure what you are starting with, they sting is very painful and could cause dead.

I found a Fire Ant in my garden. I made the mistake of letting it free, mainly because of the lack of containers.

[miszt]

you found a fireant in ur garden in Kent? are you sure? they are easy to confuse with other ants, and generally take allot of experience to correctly identify...

[Pugberto]

It gave me a nasty sting. Still got the lump on my hand. I picked her up you see and placed her on my hand. She stay in the same place and then she bit me and then stung the palm of my hand.

[kashmir79]

the same happened with me, she tried to sting me repeatedly, had a big stinger on her !

[JimmyVe]

Look at this, if your hand looks like the guys leg it could be a sting of a fire ant. The say it hurts for about 24 hours. A burning feeling. Didn't know they live in England.

[Pugberto]

Yeah I do, thats whats confused me.

they dont, however if they have got into our ecosystem, we have a problem, however, we do have ants that can give a nasty sting

[Kiam]

Not really a bad sting probably myrmica rubra the worse it hurts but not like hurt alot

the one i found nearly stung my friend when he was trying to pick it up it was vibrating on him then he let it go and we just got it in test tube
