Ant (likely pavement or garden ant)

Soil, leaf litter, lawns, gardens, wall voids, and building foundations; colonies often nest beneath stones or pavement.

Omnivorous: feeds on insects, honeydew from sap-feeding insects, seeds, and household food residues.

Highly social, living in colonies with workers, queens, and seasonal reproductive males. Workers follow pheromone trails and may forage cooperatively; winged forms typically swarm to mate.

Usually harmless and beneficial as scavengers, predators, and soil mixers. Some species can contaminate food, damage structures, or bite/sting defensively; the photograph is too low-resolution for species-level identification.
