Fire ants are a variety of stinging ants of genus Solenopsis with over 280 species worldwide. However you are probably asking about the red imported fire ant(Solenopsis invicta), or simply RIFA. The red imported fire ant is native to South America, but it has become a pest in the southern United States and movement of human goods has transported the ant round the word so that it now also occurs in Australia, Taiwan, Philippines, the southern Chinese province of Guangdong and there are also reports of ant hills in Macau.
