While both a fire ant and wasp have fierce little stingers that will make you run for cover who would dominate on a face to face battle?

Let’s take a look at the advantages of each:

The wasp:

• Ability to fly
• Release pheromones to alert colony members of attack
• Ability to sting repeatedly without loosing stinger and dying like the honey bee

The fire ant:

• Always attack in groups, with the release of pheromones to alert colony members of attack
• Can sting multiple times, injecting a dangerous venom

The winner is the fire ant! While the wasp may have the ability to fly, the fire ant wins in a battle with an advantage of the “group attack.” Check out the YouTube video of the match here.
