Ants of Zihuatanejo
FAMILY FORMICIDAE
Longhorn Crazy Ants
Paratrechina longicornis
Longhorn crazy ants get their common name from the workers' habit of running in an erratic, jerky manner when searching for food. Crazy ant colonies tend to be small to moderately sized, containing as many as 2,000 workers and 40 queens. They nest in rotten wood, fallen tree limbs and logs, tree stumps, trash and litter, and soil under objects such as stones, bricks, and lumber.
