I've always wondered which ones were the fire ants. We have at least a dozen kinds of red ants here, all of which have evil bites. There are pale orange ones that swarm on mango trees and attack all competition, tiny red bastards that build giant colonies and have bites that feel like icepicks, deep orange leafcutters, etc. Even an inch-long red and black horror that lives in the jungle, can jump 3 feet or so, and has pincers that... No need to go on, I guess. Lots of ants in the tropics, and it's better to avoid them than to confront them. They almost always win. I have a funny story about Oliver Stone vs. an ant colony; I'll tell it sometime. Oliver lost.
