ANTS INVENTORY : two unfriendly ants found

As part of the inventory of the fauna and flora, Leonide Celini, PhD in Entomology, conducted an entomological mission from August 17 to 22. Its purpose was to continue the inventory of termites and ants started in 2011. Two ants, Azteca delpini antillana Forel, 1899 (Determination Celini and Delabie, 2011) and the large fire ant Solenopsis invicta (Determination Celini and Delabie, 2011) represent a potential threat to biodiversity as well as a sanitary risk in the case of the large fire ant (rapport in french below).
