Argentine Ant

Typically found in urban areas, agricultural lands, and gardens, preferring moist soil under logs, stones, or pavement.

Omnivorous and opportunistic, they feed on honeydew from aphids, sweet substances, proteins, and other insects.

Highly social and invasive; they form massive supercolonies with multiple queens and lack aggression toward members of the same species from different nests.

Major pest that displaces native ant species and protects crop-damaging aphids. They do not sting but can invade homes in massive numbers looking for food.
