What is a "pavement ant"?

A pavement ant is a common ant species found in urban areas and is often seen foraging along sidewalks and pavements, hence its name. These ants are small, measuring around 2 to 4 millimeters in length, and are typically dark brown or black in color. They form large colonies with multiple queens and numerous worker ants. Pavement ants are opportunistic feeders, consuming a wide range of food including sweets, proteins, and seeds.
