Little black worker ants are only about 1/16-inch long, though queens are twice the size at about 1/8-inch. Little black ants, contrary to their name, can actually be dark brown or black in color (at least they got the “little” part right).
These minuscule pests have an unevenly rounded thorax and two nodes on the petiole. Their antennae are divided into 12 segments that end with three-segmented clubs. Though tiny, these gleaming little ants are most easily identified by their shiny sheen and the foraging trails they follow from their nests to food sources.
