So, I keep my house clean all the time. Never leave dishes around, always put them in the sink, etc. But, I started seeing this little weird bugs around my kitchen, and there are been going inside my food, and cabinets, and anything that’s sweet. They don’t really look like ants at all to be honest. I have some ants I see, but I can quickly tell the difference, but maybe they are a different breed of ants I guess? So, I then I started to see them on my desk on my room! I left a wrapper on my desk, and I was like “Ok, let’s throw this away”. Yesterday arrives, and I still see these bugs crawling on my desk searching for food. So, I wanted to test this to get a better look because I know they don’t look like ants in my opinion. So, I got a cup and poured a tiny amount of ice tea and let that sit over night until it dried, the next day, I WAS SHOCKED! Dozens of these little crawlers were in the cup doing there thing, it’s what you see on those shows! So, I will show the pics below!
Are these ants or what?
These are indeed ants, they might be ghost ants (Tapinoma melanocephalum) - see http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/urban/ants/ghost_ant.htm
