Ghost Ant

Found in tropical and subtropical regions; indoors, they inhabit wall voids, behind baseboards, and in potted plants.

Honeydew from aphids and mealybugs; indoors, they prefer sugary substances like syrups, honey, and sweets.

Fast-running and erratic movements; highly adaptable nesting habits; they form multiple colonies that exchange members.

They are a nuisance pest in homes and hospitals, potentially spreading pathogenic bacteria; however, they play a role in the ecosystem by preying on other small insects.
