火蚁

In the nest of a mature monogynous colony, are 50,000-240,000 Red Imported Fire Ants. In a polygynous colony, the number of individuals doubles. If there are 300 monogynous colonies per hectare, the total number of fire ants in an area of 2 hectares will far overtake Taiwan's human population.

一个成熟的「单蚁后」蚁巢中至少有5-24万只入侵红火蚁个体，而成熟的「多蚁后」蚁巢中则最少有10-50万只，若以每公顷有300个「单蚁后」蚁丘的最保守方式估算，2公顷内的火蚁数就远超过居住在台湾的总人口数。
