"The Fly, Part II"
The phorid fly, an ancient enemy of the fire ant
in South America, recently was introduced into the United States to do
battle with the ants in the Southeast. Alabama Cooperative Extension
System Entomologist Dr. Kathy Flanders and Fudd Graham, coordinator of
Auburn University's fire-ant control program, inspect a mound in which
the flies recently were introduced. Experts hope the introduction
of the flies ultimately will lead to significant reductions of the ants
throughout the Southeast.
