I understand that fire ants are from here in Brazil.
We do not know them as such, but suspect they may be
the little devils which got into my bed last week- so
tiny you can hardly see them, but their bite....OW!
(By the way, these, and other tiny carnivorous ants,
are the natural predators of leaf cutters here, which
they consider the best steak ever!)
