Common Name
Hime-ari
Language: Japanese

This species is found in open land, ranging to woodland margins. It nests under stones or in plant cavities, such as small bamboo stems, with Idogawa and Dobata (2018) reporting colonies nesting in bamboo cavities in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan in a thicket dominated by deciduous broad-leaved trees. Monomorium intrudens is one of the most common ant species of southwestern Japan. (Japanese Ant Image Database)
