Food
Omnivorous, with a preference for aphids.
Distribution
An extremely common ant often found on pavements and garden paths. Sometimes found nesting in or under house walls, and under paving slabs. Although they are ominorous they will 'milk' aphids for honeydew. They may also make collars of soil around plants to protect the aphids. This species of ant produce huge mating swarms in warm weather. The queens have wings and are larger than the workers, but the wings break off after mating. Mating flights occur in July or August.
