How far north in the US do fire ants live?
Fire ants are mainly found in the southern regions of the United States, typically not extending further north than the southern parts of Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Missouri. Cold winters in more northern regions are a limiting factor for fire ant populations.
Ants typically eat several times a day. They have a constant need for food to sustain their energy levels and support their colony. The frequency of their feeding can vary depending on factors such as the ant species, environmental conditions, and food availability.
Some ant species are facing threats, such as habitat loss, climate change, and pesticide use. These factors can disrupt ant populations and ecosystems they are part of. Conservation efforts to protect habitats and reduce pesticide use can help to mitigate these risks for ants.
Ants live for only about two months, except for the fertile females who live for nearly a full year. Ants usually hatch in late spring. The workers exist only to sustain the colony, and they die in the late summer. The fertile females, or queens, though, hatch at the same time but survive until winter when they hibernate, and then emerge in the spring to lay the eggs from which the next year's ants will hatch.

It is possible for pheromones released by a red ant species to influence the behavior of a black ant colony member if the pheromones mimic or trigger similar responses in both ant species.

What effect does light have on ants?
Sun light and man made light have two very different effects on ants.
Sunlight is natural and has nothing but good effects on ants.
If you put an ultra violet light down on an ant of course they would shrivel and die.
Thats like putting a human on the sun.
However sometimes sunlight does have effects on insects like when you see a worm dried up on the sidewalk. An ant can move faster to get out of very heated areas like a sidewalk on a hot day, however a worm can not!
However ants usually like shade and are most commonly found under rocks, dirt and grassy moist areas!
Hope this helps :)
