GHOST ANT
(Length: 1/20 - 1/14 inch)
These tiny two-toned ants are most common in southern Florida. Their
head and thorax are black and the rest of their body is a pale grey color.
They have a tendency of suddenly appearing and disappearing. They are
very fast and will scatter erratically when disturbed. They do not sting and
are highly attracted to sweets. Because they are so small they often enter
through the tiniest of gaps the size of the tip of a pin. They seek water in
kitchens and bathrooms and can nest virtually anywhere inside a home.
Outside they can be found nesting in potted plants, under stones, under and
inside logs and firewood, and in cavities and crevices in trees and shrubs.
