Worker fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) exhibit polymorphism, meaning they vary in size and role within the colony. Larger workers specialize in defense and foraging, while smaller ones focus on brood care, enabling efficient colony function. Understanding this can help homeowners in Columbia and surrounding Middle Tennessee areas better manage fire ant infestations.
