| Description: | Ants have specific feeding preferences and daily activity cycles, but there are almost no data on tropical urban species. Through field collection and application of baits in Alajuela, Costa Rica, I obtained 902 records. I identified 15 urban ant species, with preference for certain foods, and daily cycles affected by food availability and the presence of dominant species. |
