One of world’s most feared creatures is heading to Britain, scientists have warned.
The red fire ant, considered one of the most invasive species in the world – and the fifth most costly to combat – has already been introduced and established in Europe, reveals the study.
Its sting – described as ‘painful and irritating – can cause pustules and allergic reactions, and may even trigger potentially deadly anaphylactic shock.
