The species of poisonous ants are: red imported fire ants, bullet ants, yellow house ants, bulldog ants and army ants.

1, fire ant

Fire ants belong to the genus Hymenoptera of Insecta. Solenopsis invicta is only 2-6 mm in size and is native to Brazil, Paraguay and other regions in South America.

After being bitten by an ant belonging to the genus fire ant, it will burn like a fire, blister like a scald, and even cause anaphylactic shock and even death. The cause of these reactions may be that there is a pincer needle connected with poison gland at the end of the abdomen of fire ants, which goes deep into the skin and releases venom to cause allergic reactions. The toxic component is a water-soluble toxic protein.

2, bullet ants

Bullet ant, Latin scientific name: Paraponera, is a kind of Paraponera genus under Parateneae, and there is only one kind of ant in this genus. Bullet ant is one of the largest ant species in the world, inhabiting Central and South America, mainly distributed in the rain forest of Amazon region.
