The appearance of the nests also varies, so that the nest entrance can be either a simple hole in the ground or a mound (the latter, presumably, in a mature colony). Conversely, the ants can establish their nest under cover (e.g., a stone), in rotting wood, under piles of dead leaves and twigs or in sphagnum moss. One

worker is described as being taken from the nest of ‘a stick ant’. Workers have been found foraging in litter and on alpine vegetation. Collection methods have been various; hand collections, pitfall traps, berlesates and even a human dung trap! This species, unlike most ants, does not mind nesting in wet soil, and a number of the ANIC collections have been taken adjacent to waterways. All in all, the large amount of material available for study suggests that this species is an important component of the eastern seaboard ant fauna in phytogeographic areas and in physical habitats that would support few ant species and very few
