Beware the Tiny, Wicked Needle Ants!

Just when you thought fire ants were bad, meet the Asian needle ant—tiny, sneaky, and packing a sting that feels like a needle jab (and can even trigger dangerous allergic reactions). These little invaders are spreading fast across the US, hiding in mulch, logs, and gardens. They’re hard to spot, hard to kill, and their sting can hurt for hours or even days. If you’re gardening this summer, gloves are your new BFF! #InvasiveSpecies #AsianNeedleAnt #GardenSafety #Science
