A thief ant is a small ant species known for its scavenging behavior. These ants are typically light brown to yellowish in color and have a slender body shape. Thief ants are opportunistic feeders and are attracted to a wide range of food sources, including greasy and oily substances. They are called "thief ants" because they are known to invade the nests of other ant species and steal their food and resources. Thief ants are relatively small in size and can easily infiltrate buildings, making them a common nuisance in households and commercial spaces. They are often found near kitchen areas, garbage cans, and areas where food is stored. Despite their small size, thief ants can establish large colonies and can be challenging to eliminate once they infest a space.
