Argentine ant concrete walls, in spaces between boards and timbers, even among belongings in human dwellings. In natural areas, they generally nest shallowly in loose leaf litter or beneath small stones, due to their poor ability to dig deeper nests. However, if a deeper nesting ant species abandons their nest, Argentine ant colonies will readily take over the space. Austrian entomologist Gustav L. Mayr identified the first specimens of "Hypoclinea humilis" in the vicinity of Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1866. This species was shortly transferred to the genus "Iridomyrmex", and finally to "Linepithema" in the early 1990s. The native range of Argentine
Green-head ant seeds they feed on approximately away from their nests in both unburned and burned habitats. In some cases, the seeds of "Adriana quadripartita" are dispersed much farther; the green-head ant accounts for 93% of all ants that collect these seeds and can disperse them as far as . One study shows that the green-head ant, along with "Aphaenogaster longiceps", removed the highest number of seeds and discarded them on top of their nest, with a few remaining several centimetres under the nest. Most seeds dispersed by the green-head ant and "A.longiceps" are eventually eaten by "Pheidole" ants. Since the seeds
