Ants can be found either outdoors or indoors with great frequency in each case. Indoors, nests have been found inside homes around electrical wires. These locations are often very near large food supplies and may be around other ant nests. Outdoors, acrobat ants are usually arboreal, but they often live in many common areas in the wild. These areas are typically moist and are often dark. They can often be found in trees, collections of wood (like firewood) and under rocks.
