I don't believe there is a redeeming value to the fireant. I've seen them
attack young chickens, kittens, turtles, earthworms etc. They have helped
cause a decline in some lizard populations also. I have also had them eat
out the okra we had; the only vegetable plant I couldn't kill on my own.
If you believe the fireant only attacks bugs & decaying vegetable matter
look again.

Bill,
Do fire ants prey on Japanese beetle larvae? I would like to think that
there could be just one good trait about those nasty little critters.
