Yes, fire ants do have venom. Unlike many other ants, which bite and then spray acid on the wound, fire ants bite only to get a grip and then sting (from the abdomen) and inject a toxic alkaloid venom called solenopsin, a compound from the class of piperidines.

One example of a frog that eats fire ants is the fire ant frog (Leptodactylus wagneri). These frogs have evolved to have a resistance to the venomous bite of fire ants, allowing them to prey on them without harm. Eating fire ants can help control their populations in certain environments.

Yes, fire ants can be dangerous and their stings can be deadly for some people, especially those who are allergic to insect stings. Fire ants are aggressive and can attack in large numbers, resulting in painful stings that can cause severe reactions. It is important to seek medical attention if bitten by fire ants, particularly if experiencing an allergic reaction.
Animals that eat fire ants include anteaters, armadillos, aardvarks, and some species of birds. These animals have adaptations such as long tongues or tough skin that protect them from the fire ant's sting. Additionally, certain insect predators like phorid flies and parasitic wasps also help control fire ant populations.
