    The biosecurity officers' fight against fire ants and allegations of threats, harassment and stalking
    A Glen Turner Déjà vu

    “We’ve had threats of ‘If you come on my property, I’ll shoot you’. ‘If you try and come on my property, I’ll set my dog on you...Australian police are routinely escorting biosecurity officers onto private properties after they reported being threatened with dogs and guns. In cases when people were “incredibly hostile”, program staff would “proactively engage with the police to escort us and to keep the peace and to keep everyone safe in that environment, because we need to complete the treatment”

    These blocky-headed girls are tropical fire ants, Solenopsis geminata. They feed more on grains than other fire ants, and their heads and jaws are more robust for milling seeds. Also, not nearly so aggressive as the red imported fire ants that plague Texas.

    Photographed at El Yunque, Puerto Rico.
