Imported red fire ants are typically on the secondary consumer trophic level, as they primarily consume other insects and small invertebrates.
Fire ants were first detected in Australia in 2001, in Brisbane. It is not known whether there were some colonies already established earlier, as a result of previously undetected nests in imported products.
'Fire ants' generally refer to ants in the genus Solenopsis, or Wasmannia auropunctata (the 'little fire ant').'Red ants' is a common name that is applied to a wide variety of red colored ants. It is occasionally used for 'red imported fire ants' (Solenopsis invicta), but also applied to red harvester ants, the 'European fire ant' (Myrmica rubra), and a number of other ant species. The usage is generally regional.
There are many species of red ants, including fire ants, velvet ants, and leafcutter ants. These ants differ in behavior and habitat. Fire ants are aggressive and build large mounds in open areas, while velvet ants are solitary and live in sandy or grassy areas. Leafcutter ants are known for cutting and carrying leaves back to their underground nests. Each type of red ant has unique behaviors and preferences for their habitats.
