Ghost ant

Indoor environments such as kitchens and bathrooms (near moisture), and outdoor areas like flowerpots and under loose bark.

Omnivorous; primarily feeds on honeydew from aphids and mealybugs, but also consumes dead insects and sweets inside homes.

Known for their erratic, jerky movements when disturbed. They form multiple colonies through a process called budding and often trail along baseboards or under carpets.

Generally considered a nuisance pest in homes. They do not sting and their bite is usually unnoticed, but large infestations can contaminate food sources.
