Fairly fast moving ants. I suspect it may be a Tetramorium species.There are more than 5 colonies of this species in my house. They are medium sized. I find them mainly in cracks in the pavement and in soil and rotting wood. I would be glad to take more pictures if needed. Thanks for any feedback.
1. Location of collection (Ghana, Accra).
2. Date of collection (15/01/17)
3. Habitat of collection (Pavement, Dry, Small pieces of excavated soil).
4. Length (1/2 an inch with antenna length included).
5. Coloration, hue, pattern and texture (Black, maybe a very dark brown tint, not so clear).
6. Distinguishing characteristics (Joint antenna, curves towards the end of the antenna, two petiole nodes, fast movement when jolted).
