Description

Description:

 

Tetramorium caespitum is a fairly small but highly aggressive ant species. They are territorial and aggressive towards both other ant species and other colonies of their own species. They prefer high temperatures and are typically found in open, sunny areas, often in urban environments. Colonies are monogynous and establish themselves claustrally, growing to several thousand workers. The nests of this species are easily recognizable by characteristic small mounds of sand or soil. Multiple mounds are often present in close proximity. They are omnivorous, hunting, scavenging, consuming fruits, seeds, and cultivating aphids, mainly root aphids. They have specialized chambers for storing seeds. When a food source is discovered, the workers quickly recruit each other and form a cohesive trail. They serve as hosts for Tetramorium atratulum and Strongylognathus testaceus.

 

Fun fact: workers are capable of producing sounds, using them to call for assistance.
