Of Old World origin, introduced in Neotropics. Identification Shiny; bicolored with light brown mesosoma, darker head and gaster. Natural History This species is very common and occurs in and around houses and in low second growth vegetation almost anywhere in the country where ants occur. It nests opportunistically in any small cavity, usually in the low arboreal zone, and may become a house pest. Almost all the nests I have observed have been polygynous, with up to 7 dealate queens.
