I am doing an assignment on fire ants for Geography. I need a map showing the current location of the ants in Australia and a map of where they were first discovered. I have tried a million websites with every combination of words possible. Can someone please help me before I run out of time?

It will take you to some .pdf maps
Fire ants have been successfully kept from spreading beyond parts of Queensland in Australia. The eradication program has been successful and is continuing.
Of course, I can help you with that! Gathering information for assignments can sometimes be challenging, but I'll explain a step-by-step process to find the maps you need.
To begin, let's find a map of the current location of fire ants in Australia. Here's how you can do that:
1. Open a search engine like Google.
2. Type in "current distribution of fire ants in Australia map" or a similar search query. Be sure to enclose the search query in quotes to get more accurate results.
3. Look through the search results and explore the websites that provide information about fire ants in Australia.
4. Look specifically for websites from reputable sources such as government departments, research institutions, or universities. These sources typically provide reliable and up-to-date information.
5. Once you find a reliable website, navigate to the appropriate section to access the map or download it if available.
6. Make sure to cite your sources properly if you use the map in your assignment.
Next, let's find a map showing where fire ants were first discovered in Australia. Here's what you can do:
1. Use the same search engine.
2. Type in "first discovery of fire ants in Australia map" or similar phrasing. Again, enclose your search query in quotes and try different variations as needed.
3. Look through the search results and focus on websites that provide historical information about when and where fire ants were initially discovered.
4. Similarly, choose reputable sources that are likely to provide accurate information. Government websites, research papers, or news articles can be helpful.
5. Navigate to the relevant section to find the map or any other information related to the first discovery.
6. Remember to cite your sources correctly while using the map for your assignment.
By following these steps, you should be able to locate reliable maps showing the current location of fire ants in Australia as well as their initial discovery.
