Ghost Ant

Typically found in tropical and subtropical regions; indoors they nest in wall voids, potted plants, and behind baseboards.

Omnivorous; they primarily feed on honeydew secreted by aphids and other insects, but also seek out sweets, grease, and proteins.

Highly mobile and known for erratic movement when disturbed; they form large, multi-queen colonies and frequently relocate nesting sites.

Considered a nuisance pest that can contaminate food; they do not sting and their bite is usually unnoticed, but they can transport pathogenic organisms in hospital settings.
