Solenopsis
The sexuals or reproductives in ants are called alates. Females are called queens or gynes, while males are usually just called males. In the case of male alates, their only function is to reproduce. They usually stay in their home colony until they are fully developed and then they fly away to mate. Red imported fire ants are an exotic invasive species and in many areas of Texas they have displaced other species of fire ants native to the state. Solenopsis geminata, the tropical fire ant, is the most common native fire ant species encountered. To the unaided eye, they are almost identical to red imported fire ants.  Fire ant queens, the reproductive females in their colony, also are generally the largest. Their primary function is reproduction; fire ant queens may live up to 7 years and can produce up to 1,600 eggs per day, and colonies will have as many as 250,000 workers. 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. Red Ants. In the United States, there are many species of ants that are red in color. Many times people will call ants “red ants” because they do not know the correct name. However, the ant that is most often called the “red ant” is the red imported fire ant. Sometimes it is called by its initials—RIFA. In Spanish, they are known as hormiga colorada or hormiga fuego. Fire ant is the common name for several species of ants in the genus Solenopsis. They are however only a minority in the genus, which includes over 200 species of Solenopsis worldwide. Solenopsis are stinging ants and most of their common names reflect this, for example, ginger ants and tropical fire ants. Many species also are called red ants because of their light brown colour, though species of ants in many other genera are similarly named for similar reasons. 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. Nearly all ant colonies also have some fertile males called drones and one or more fertile females called  queens . Weaver ant eggs and larvae, as well as the ants, may be used in a Thai salad, yam (Thai: ยำ), in a dish called yam khai mot daeng (Thai: ยำไข่มดแดง) or red ant egg salad, a dish that comes from the Issan or north-eastern region of Thailand. Worker ants are sterile or non-reproductive female ants that tend the queen, the brood (eggs, larvae and pupae), and forage for food. Most species produce winged ants, called reproductives, during certain times of the year. These are male and female ants leaving the nest to mate and establish new colonies. Size of these castes of ants varies with species. Female reproductive Texas leafcutting ants can have bodies about 20 mm in length. Harvester ant workers range from 5 to 9 mm and reddish brown to yellow or black, while red imported fire ants workers range from 1.5 to 4 mm and reddish brown with a darker abdomen. Solenopsis Papuana. Fire ants are any of the species of ants that belong to the taxonomic genus Solenopsis. They are perhaps best known for their extreme aggression exhibited when provoked and venom which leaves victims with a burning sensation, hence their name [2] .  Ants live in colonies where one or a few females, called queens, lay all the eggs. Most of the queens' offspring become worker ants that do not reproduce. A few are males, and some become new queens. Each queen ant can lay thousands of eggs per year. Ants are skinny insects. Like their relatives the wasps, they have a narrow connection between their abdomen and thorax. They have chewing mouthparts, and their antennae are bent in the middle. Some ant species are very tiny (1-2mm long), but some tropical species are very large (30 mm).
