Pseudomyrmex termitarius is odd for a Pseudomyrmex in its soil-nesting habits, often living in old termite mounds.

Among the most damaging pest ant species is Solenopsis invicta, a fire ant native to South America. This species has been accidentally imported to the southern United States, eastern Australia, China, and elsewhere. Here a worker fire ant is shown in stereotypical defensive posture, her sting extruded, waving a droplet of venom in the air.
