Tetramorium
is a genus of small- to medium-sized myrmicine ants whose considerable diversity is centered in the old world. Several species have been transported extensively with human commerce, including the common European pavement ant, now among the most abundant insects in temperate North American cities.
The happenings of the insect world play out mostly unnoticed by people. Here, two colonies of Tetramorium pavement ants battle for territory along the shores of a midwestern reservoir.
