 | | Compared to much of the rest of Europe, the UK is not a 'hot spot' for ants. |
 | | A few species, best exemplified by Lasius niger, and Myrmica rubra, are truly cosmopolitan, colonising are great variety of different habitats (often including those directly resultant from human activities). |
 | | Many of the lesser seen species are at the northern extent of their range in Britain, and for this reason are confined to the south. |
