Aphaenogaster
is a heterogeneous assemblage of slender myrmicine ants found worldwide. A number of species are seed harvesters, while other species, such as A. tennesseensis, are social parasites of other Aphaenogaster. A few Australian species build extensive soil mounds and are regarded as pests of lawns and pastures.
Aphaenogaster ants are abundant in forests of eastern North America. Here, a worker A. picea forages in a moss bed.
