Bug Description

The workers are the most common member of this colony. They are very small, 1.3 to 1.5 mm in length. The head and middle portion (gaster) are dark brown while the abdomen and legs opaque or a milky color. Their small size and light color make ghost ants difficult to see. This ant will nest in wall voids or areas between cabinetry and baseboards. They will nest in potted plants indoors or outdoors. It favors sweets and does not sting.
