‘Crazy’ bird-killing ANTS that can fire ACID at their prey are removed from a remote Pacific island after aggressive invasive species was accidentally introduced from Asia
Daily Mail | 6/24/2021

US Fish and Wildlife Service said the yellow crazy ant has finally been successfully removed from Johnston Atoll National Wildlife Refuge

The atoll is in the Pacific Ocean, roughly 820 miles southwest of Honolulu.

The last sighting of a yellow crazy ant was in December 2017.

Yellow crazy ants, which originated in Southeast Asia, stalk seabirds on the atoll.

They spray formic acid on the birds, causing injuries and even death.

Yellow crazy ants are ‘scavenging predators,’ with diets that include grains, seeds and have been known to attack and dismember land crabs, earthworms and other insects.
