Description

Long thought to either be a Subspecies or color variation of Solenopsis invicta, the black imported fire ant (Solenopsis richteri) is now recognized as its own species with a demonstratively different range and living habits. The black imported fire ant seems to be less tolerant of cold and a less dominant species than the Red Imported Fire Ant; its northern and southern ranges are also much less extensive. Black fire ant stings will swell slightly with a white pustules and a large red area around the pustule that is roughly 2-4 inches wide and is painful. The affected area will start to swell within seconds of being stung. The venom of a black imported fire ant is roughly the equivalent of a wasp sting. The sting is less painful than the venom.
