Birds, armadillos, phorid flies, other ants, pathogens, floods, and humans threaten colonies; stings and swarming defend Fiery.

Fire ants work in cycles across day and night depending on heat, moisture, and food, resting in the mound during dangerous extremes.

Workers live weeks to months, queens can live years, and colonies persist by replacing individuals through constant brood production.

Queens lay large numbers of eggs, while worker females rear larvae, defend the mound, and move brood when conditions change.

Workers are sterile females, queens are reproductive females, and males are produced mainly for mating flights.
