The little black ant (Monomorium minimum) is a tiny North American ant species that your fire ants will come up against in the 4th tier levels of Empires of the Undergrowth.
Although small (very likely the smallest ants that will ever be in the game), they are fierce and territorial - they wave their gaster (hind section) in a technique called "flagging", which releases secretions from their poison glands.
This intimidating chemical and visual threat display / territory marking is effective enough to see off most competition.
