Tom, I think those pictures may show someone with two fire ant stings - not a bite plus a sting. Unlike honeybees, a single fire ant can sting more than once.

If you get into a mound, you can get a lot of stings in a hurry. They don't mess around! I imagine that there are some impressive pictures on the Internet for the finding.
