Does anyone know the range of these ants in the two states ? Are they all over or just particular to certain area's?

My understanding (from MD DNR) is that there are isolated instances of fire ants in the state, but no established colonies. I've got ants in the back that look like them, but have had no instance of being stung by the things.

The native Allegheny ants can swarm if sufficiently provoked. We once had a kid hike turn into an ants-in-the-pants disaster. Not quite as vicious as fire ants but not terribly pleasant either.
