Species Features
O. brunneus ants are known for their unique nesting habits. They can be found in various habitats, including leaf litter, rotting logs, tree bases, and open to partially covered sandy areas. While they occasionally forage during the day, they are more active at night, making them nocturnal creatures. When their colony is disturbed, O. brunneus workers exhibit non-aggressive behavior and quickly retreat or vacate the nest. This behavior ensures the safety and protection of the colony without engaging in unnecessary conflicts.
