Paragraph 2
Red fire ants were first found in Australia in 2001. They were only in the
of Queensland, until now. Australia's Invasive Species Council (ISC) says the ants are spreading because of
waters. They are clinging to each other to create "
" on the water. An ISC
said: "Fire ants are more
before or after rainfall and can form
floating rafts, which move with water
to establish footholds in new
." It warned that the fire ants will reach "every
of Australia" if the current
is not kept in check.
