Green-head ant
The green-head ant (''Rhytidoponera metallica''), often simply referred to as the green ant, or sometimes the green-headed ant or in Queensland, the metallic pony ant, is a metallic-green coloured ant, generally in length,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Green-head Ant )〕 that can be found throughout Australia, particularly in urban and suburban areas. It is often confused - verbally, not visually - with the weaver ant of northern Queensland, Australia, where it is also referred to as the green ant.
Green-head queens are semi-claustral, and forage for food themselves during the early stages of a colony. Queens are difficult to distinguish from workers, they generally have the same build, but are slightly larger with a more pronounced thorax and gaster. Workers forage alone and are omnivorous, however a majority of their diet consists of other insects. Colonies can range from small colonies, to large ones that can be around a metre deep into the ground and contain around a hundred workers.
==Distribution and habitat==
The green-head ant is a native species of Australia that is widespread throughout Victoria, New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and South Australia.〔 It can be found in most areas of Western Australia but is less common in the north, and is present in the lower regions of the Northern Territory and east of Queensland.〔 They are not present in Tasmania.
The habitat of the green-head varies, ranging from desert, open forests and woodland.〔 The species nests under ground.
