Genus Solenopsis is commonly referred to as the fire ant, due to their fiery sting. However, there are a few synonyms associated with this species, including Solenopsis invicta and Solenopsis saevissima. These ants are known for their aggressive behavior and ability to cause harm to humans and animals alike. Fire ants can be found in many regions around the world and are known for their ability to adapt to different climates and environments. While they may be an unwelcome presence in some areas, they are also an important part of the ecosystem, playing a role in soil aeration and the control of other insect populations.
