How to find out which species are in your country?

Hi,
Was wondering if anyone knows of a website or anything that will tell you in like a list of the species that are in a certain country.
For example I'm in the UK and was curious if I would be able to get the yellow crazy ants or fire ants etc. However when I googled if a species was in the UK already. I couldnt really find an answer since it never said they was in the UK but it does say they was in Europe and are highly invasive.

well theres https://antmaps.org/? simply put in name of species you are trying to find so for fire ants it would be like this https://antmaps.org/?mode=species&species=Solenopsis.invicta
keeper of: 41xCamponotus novaeboracensis, Crematogaster spp. and unidentified species and tapinoma sessile
