I thought there was already records at 6000+ feet?
Edit: The record is from AntMaps at these coordinates [34°09'25.1"N 106°09'15.5"W]. That is next to Claunch, NM at 6,210 feet above sea level.
There is also apparently one at 10,000 feet in Argentina.

I think the ant of concern will be the Asian Needle Ant Brachypona chinensis which I have observed in the Chattanooga area to have displaced almost every common endemic I find usually in Blount County, two hours to the north east of Chattanooga. This displacement though was in forested areas not fields and road sides the general location of S. invicta here.

I've read somewhere that they're also becoming smaller and increasingly polygynous (unfortunately I can't find the source) - basically they're evolving into a typical tramp ant, similar to pharao ants.
The future world is going to have a lot of fun with them...

We should respect all forms of consciousness. The body is just a vessel, a mere hull.

Fortunately for me, South Dakota will probably be one of the last places invaded in the United States (it may not even get here in my life time). They'd have to do some SERIOUS adapting to survive here. 
Might even have to call 'em a new subspecies.

That's an interesting concept.
