I agree with F tier as Linepithema and Brachymyrmex are just about ALL I SEE NOW.

Brachyponera chinensis should be way further down on the list. They’re trashing the east coast as we speak.

What even is the main criterium for this list? Invasiveness? Destructiveness? Feasibilty of keeping? Some arbitratry one like "looks cool"?

 

p.s. You forgot Wasmannia auropunctata (electric ant/little fire ant), that one is completely obliterating ecosystems in the pacific region (especially the islands, including parts of Hawaii).
