Somewhat possible theory - Hobbyists like to keep ants as pets, the most extreme ones will keep colorful or riskier ants. That’s my guess anyways
In the reptile hobby, shit loads of pythons and non native animals are taking over Florida because of the pet trade
>t have loads of pets including reptiles and bugs
Another theory (that’s less likely) - is that some asian or african people like to eat their larvae as food, and sometimes release them as queens on nuptual flights, which is bad. It happened with snake head fish in America, now they are banned
Most likely theory - they got hitch hiked along in pottery, plants, etc. that happened with some worms and tiny snake species in America too
I’ll stick with option #3
