Ant Decamp

Typically found in forests, grasslands, and agricultural areas, often under logs, stones, leaf litter, or in soil.

Primarily predatory, hunting smaller insects, larvae, slugs, and snails. Some species also consume seeds or fungi.

Mostly nocturnal, running quickly on the ground in search of prey. Many species are flightless or rarely fly. They are known for their fast running speed and are often found in damp environments.

Benefits include pest control in agriculture and gardens as they prey on many invertebrate pests. They pose no significant risks to humans, although some larger species may emit foul-smelling secretions as a defense mechanism when threatened.
