Across the southeastern United States a battle is raging -- ant against
ant.
.
On one side are the dreaded fire ants, armed with a venom that is painful
to humans and often fatal to competing insects.
.
On the other side are the tawny crazy ants -- smaller, stinger-less, but
equipped with a secret weapon that allows them to defeat the fire ants
time and time again.
.
As scientists have recently discovered, the tawny crazy ants can secrete a
chemical antidote to the fire ants' poison that is also a venom itself.
And though this venom doesn't kill the fire ants, it appears to force them
into retreat.
.
"As this plays out, unless something new and different happens, crazy ants
are going to displace fire ants from much of the southeastern U.S. and
become the new ecologically dominant invasive ant species," Edward
LeBrun, a researcher at the Fire Ant Research and Management Project at
the University of Texas at Austin, said in a statement.
.
Fire ants and tawny crazy ants are native to South America, where their
battle may have raged for thousands of years. Fire ants arrived in the
United States first, sometime in the 1930s. The crazy ants didn't start to
show up until the early 2000s.
