Hello, after doing a little research on fire ants I was left with a question: can solenopsis xyloni create living rafts during floods like the other big solenopsis species? (Invicta, geminata, saevissima etc) from an evolutionary standpoint I’m guessing it would be used to deal with monsoon floods?
