Fire ants ever encounter these creatures maybe some of you have encounter these pesty little creatures. Yet, haven't got there sting or even there bite. There stinger is much more dangerous and have different reactants then, the wasps, bees, and so forth. There venom contains alkaloids combine with some proteins together. They can sting so many times with them clinging on to your skin, while

Not, only they attack insects with there sting but killing fungi and bacteria as well yet, not all just some of them. They have the most powerful venom when they spring into action. Where they can sting as much as they want without killing themselves, which makes them the top of the list for there venom with the bees, wasp, and so on. If you come across fire ants don't disturb them for they just might send pheromones in the air delivering a monstrous colony to attack what ever is threatening them. Its just like wasps and other insects as well who don't want to be bother doing there routines in the world.

I was in Mexico San Juan. I was walking with some friends and stop to say hi to a friend. I was standing in the middle of colony and was bitten 5 times. Ants crawling all over my legs. Oh my I was in pain. It feel like I was been eating alive. I wish your blog was handy at this time but my old days no such thing as blogs. Thank you
