New Zealand has only 11 known native species of ant – by comparison, Australia has about 1,200. The most common is the southern ant, which gathers and stores plant seeds. But the most bothersome are not natives. The white-footed ant invades houses in search of food, and the aggressive Argentine ant displaces local species.
