An inconspicuous creature is invading certain portions of the United States and has begun to attract interest from experts and safety agencies. The Asian needle ant is native to East Asia, and although small and unassuming, the sting of the creature is said to be excruciatingly painful. Victims describe the pain as that of being pierced by an incredibly sharp needle. While some people might just have allergic reactions to the creatures' bites, the danger posed by them is beginning to attract the attention of agencies. This type of ant has been part of life in the US for years now, but the latest news is that the population is expanding even further into newer areas.
