Officers from the Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency examine imports of Chinese and Russian rubber plants for fire ants at the Incheon Port on Mar. 5. The Agency announced last month that a fire ant had been found on a rubber tree sapling that had been imported from Fujian Province in China. The venomous insects, which are native to South and Central America, were found for the first time in Korea last September among shipping containers at the Port of Busan. (Yonhap News)
