The red imported fire ant is an invasive species in Texas that can produce life-threatening allergic reactions in people, has major costs to agriculture, and causes severe impacts to native fauna. Dr. Rob Plowes researches one of the fire ant's deadliest enemies - tiny flies, which actually turn ants into zombie-like living incubators for their offspring!
