Ant (likely a small household ant)

Ants occupy nests in soil, wood, and wall or floor cavities; workers often forage indoors for food and water.

Varies by species; commonly includes sugary liquids, seeds, and other insects or food scraps.

Social insects that live in colonies; workers follow scent trails and forage, while queens reproduce in the nest.

Usually harmless, though some species contaminate food or bite. Ants also recycle nutrients and prey on other insects.
