i cannot be certain, but i am sure all species need to live part of thier life below ground, or least in some secure/enclosed/dark area, (thier nest) even if its above ground, they still need to hide away in a nest, like wood ants, that choose to live in trees, though above ground, are still out of sight, beneath the bark, so perhaps its a re think on where you put your new ants, rather than what the species might be. :wink:

Yeah, thats for sure. But he wants to know some ants who live on the ground. And Polyrhachis lives there. They have their nests in wood but on the ground :)

Temnothorax nylanderi are wonderful ants, i have a colony myself, although they are very timid, very small and colonys only grow to about 200 ants
