Odourous House Ant

Tapinoma sessile

These ants are often confused with albipes because of size and general shape:

  • These ants have a distinct odour when crushed.
  • The odour is used to defend the colony.  It is not used as a sex attractant.
  • When threatened they raise their gaster.
  • These ants share their food.
