ELONGATED TREE ANT
The Elongated Tree Ant is an isolated species of Southern Florida. This wasp-like in appearance stinging Mexican ant species is about half an inch long and an attractively colored orange and black.
It darts quickly around branches of trees and bushes. The biggest complaint about the Elongate Tree Ant is that they fall out of tree and other plants onto people and give a painful sting when trapped between clothing and skin. This species known locally as the “neck biter ant” appeared in Florida in the 1960’s and quickly spread throughout the southern 2/3 of Florida.
The Elongated Tree Ant has single queen small nests that contain few individuals. The nests are usually located in hollow twigs and dried grasses barely wide enough for two or three ants to pass one another.
