I believe this is the Solenopsis invicta although I will probably check further. The 'Albino' seen in the picture is probably a very young ant, one that's recently eclosed and the chitin has not yet fully hardened or changed colour. Pretty cool shot :) Posted 7 years ago

The Red imported fire ant

The red imported fire ant, also known as the fire ant or RIFA, is a species of ant native to South America. A member of the genus ''Solenopsis'' in the subfamily Myrmicinae, it was described by Swiss entomologist Felix Santschi as a variant in 1916. Its current name ''invicta'' was given to the ant in 1972 as a separate species.
