Red imported fire ants with painful bites have taken hold in Europe.

Already a serious invasive species in the US and Australia, red imported fire ant nests have now been found in Sicily, Italy, and they could spread to other parts of Europe.

For people, red fire ant bites can be extremely painful due to their venom, which some people may even be allergic to.

. Sadly was such strong winds and bad weather we could only go up a little way in a 4 x 4 and there was no visibilty so we pottered about around the lower which was still fab. Fun seeing people in shorts and tees flocking to buy hoodies and rainwear.
