Army ants are found in the southern United States, but are more commonly located in Central America, South America, Africa, and parts of Asia. In general, they thrive in tropical areas.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Americas: From the southern United States through Central and South America.
- Africa: Widespread across many regions.
- Asia: Found in parts of Asia, particularly tropical areas.
While they are primarily tropical insects, some species can tolerate other environments. It is a misconception that they are found in deserts and mountain heights, as their primary habitat is the tropics.
