Myrmica scabrinodis

Myrmica scabrinodis is a species of ant commonly found in Europe. These ants live in soil and are known for their reddish-brown color and relatively small size. They build underground nests and sometimes protect plant roots or soil-dwelling insects. Myrmica scabrinodis are social insects, working together in colonies that can include thousands of ants. They hunt small invertebrates for food and play a vital role in their ecosystems by helping control pest populations and aiding in soil health. Their presence can also influence the local distribution of other insects and plants.
