The most common ants, you are likely to see, are:
- Black garden ants
- Red woodland ants
- Yellow meadow ants
Black garden ants the those we often spot in our gardens or running along the pavements. While, the red ants are easily spotted if you take a walk through any of our beautiful woodlands or forests – and, even if you might not spot the ants themselves, you are sure to notice their large, dome shaped nests (they look like big piles of earth, twigs, leaves and needles). Lastly, your might spot yellow ants f picnicking in a meadow or field, or sometimes if you try digging up your lawn. But, yellow ants are shy and don’t come up very often.
