Honey ants

Pest profile

Honey ant

Size: 1.5 - 3 mm

Colour: shiny black to reddish brown

Description: The Honey ant prefers to nest in clay soil and in well shaded areas. It prefers to eat sweet or decaying fruit, insects, and honeydew from aphids

Many insects, notably honey bees and some wasps, collect and store liquid for use at a later date. However, these insects store their food within their nest or in combs. Honey ants are unique in using their own bodies as living storage, used later by their fellow ants when food is otherwise scarce. When the liquid stored inside a honeypot ant is needed, the worker ants stroke the antennae of the honeypot ant, causing the honeypot ant to regurgitate the stored liquid from its crop.
