vraie fourmi de feu ?","Non. Le nom anglais European fire ant (« fourmi de feu européenne ») ne renvoie qu'à sa piqûre douloureuse, que les éleveurs comparent à celle d'une ortie, et l'espèce n'est que très lointainement apparentée aux fourmis de feu tropicales du genre Solenopsis. En Europe, c'est une fourmi commune des prairies humides et des jardins, mais des introductions accidentelles en ont fait un nuisible dans certaines régions du nord-est de l'Amérique du Nord et du Nord-Ouest Pacifique, où des colonies denses piquent les gens. Pour cette raison, une colonie de Myrmica rubra ne doit jamais être relâchée en dehors de son aire d'origine.",{"question":274,"answer":275},"Puis-je ajouter des reines à une colonie de Myrmica rubra ?","Souvent, oui. Myrmica rubra est polygyne, et dans la nature, ses colonies accueillent des reines supplémentaires et s'étendent sur plusieurs nids reliés. Dans une étude de colonies récoltées sur le terrain, les nids sans reine acceptaient plus souvent des reines étrangères que ceux qui en avaient encore une. Les éleveurs rapportent aussi que des reines et des ouvrières de nids différents ont fusionné avec de simples escarmouches : une colonie sans reine est donc le cas le plus simple. L'acceptation n'est toutefois jamais garantie, et des reines fondatrices sans lien de parenté réunies peuvent se battre.",{"question":277,"answer":278},"Pourquoi certaines reines de Myrmica rubra paraissent-elles aussi petites que des ouvrières ?","Certaines colonies élèvent des microgynes, des reines bien plus petites que la normale et parfois à peine plus grandes qu'une ouvrière. Elles ont autrefois été décrites comme une espèce distincte, Myrmica microrubra, mais des travaux génétiques ont montré qu'elles appartiennent à Myrmica rubra. Des expériences ultérieures en laboratoire ont révélé que les microgynes agissent comme des parasites sociaux des vieilles colonies : les nids avec microgynes élevaient moins d'ouvrières que les nids n'ayant que des reines normales.","Des ouvrières brun rougeâtre à rouge rouille, avec la tête plus sombre, un gaster brillant et deux épines pointues à l'arrière du thorax. On les confond facilement avec d'autres Myrmica comme Myrmica ruginodis, M. scabrinodis et M. sabuleti : une identification sûre de l'espèce demande donc en général un microscope, et la reine n'est qu'un peu plus grande qu'une ouvrière.","fr",{},true,[284,287,290,292],{"kind":285,"text":286},"tip","Gardez le nid humide en permanence.
