''Brachyponera chinensis'', or the Asian needle ant, is a ponerine ant native to areas of Japan and Asia. The species can also be found in the United States, where it is an adventive and possibly invasive species. It is documented from Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. Unpublished records place it in Alabama and Tennessee. The pest species is of growing concern due to ecological impacts on biodiversity and medical risks to human health, via sting-induced anaphylaxis.〔 It prefers nesting in dark, damp areas in soil beneath stones, logs, stumps, and debris.〔 The Asian needle ant and the Argentine ant (''Linepithema humile'') have been battling for territory in the U.S.〔(''Ants Misbehaving: Argentine and Asian Ants Battle for U.S. Dominance'' ); "In a fierce battle for dominance, Asian needle ants are displacing other species and threatening U.S. ecosystems" May 5, 2013 Scientific American〕 ==References==
