Red ants do not have venom. Red ants have an ovipositor at the end of their abdomens containing formaldehyde and other chemicals. It exists to poison and kill their food. After their food is dead, they carry it back to their nest, chew it up, store it in their coops or digest it.
They have ovipositors because they are descended from wasp like creatures. Like worker wasps, worker ants kill their prey with them. Worker wasps fly; worker ants walk.
because the red ones or "fire ants" have a painful sting. colors of ants ussually have something to do with their venom i think.
Actually, Black Ant's do bite. They just don't carry venom like Red Ants do. ((I hope i helped..))
While not all ants have venom, many varieties do. In particular, the venom of the bullet ant has put it at the top of the list of "most painful insect stings."
Many species of ants produce formic acid in their venom.

No, ants do not pee in your cut when they bite you. When ants bite, they can inject venom through their mandibles, which may cause irritation or an allergic reaction. Some species, like fire ants, can also sting, injecting venom that can lead to pain and swelling. However, they do not urinate or introduce urine into the wound.
a little niddle with venom but powerful =D
Red ants are not poisonous. Whilst they may be very irratating, and sitting on a red ants nest is far from pleasurable, red ants are not poisonous to humans. Red ants are aggressive and territorial, but to humans no real threat.
