Small Black Sugar Ant
Lepisiota capensis
Small Black Sugar Ant workers live in warm, often disturbed habitats, nesting in soil crevices, under stones, and around buildings. They travel quickly over the ground to collect sugary liquids, nectar, honeydew, and small insects. Workers use their mandibles to handle food and defend themselves when threatened. This species is known for its opportunistic foraging and ability to thrive near human activity.
