Ghost ant

Indoor environments such as kitchens and bathrooms, and outdoor areas under soil, debris, or flowerpots in tropical and subtropical climates.

Honeydew from aphids and mealybugs, as well as household sweets, sugars, and protein-based foods.

Highly mobile and forms multiple sub-colonies; they are known for their erratic, fast movement when disturbed and a preference for moist nesting sites.

They are considered a significant household pest that can contaminate food; however, they do not sting and their bite is generally too small to be felt by humans.
