Pavement Ant (Tetramorium caespitum)

Diagram of the pavement ant. (a = female; b = female after loss of wings; c = male, d = worker, e = larva; g = pupa; f = head of larva. The pavement ant, Tetramorium caespitum, is a common household pest. Its name comes from the fact that colonies usually make their homes in pavement. It is distinguished by one spine on the back, two nodes on the petiole, and grooves on the head and thorax. The species is native to Europe, but was introduced to North America in the 18th century. Insects are a class of invertebrates within the arthropod phylum that have a chitinous exoskeleton, a three-part body (head, thorax and abdomen), three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes and one pair of antennae. They are among the most diverse groups of animals on the planet, including more than a million described species and representing more than half of all known living organisms.
