Natural History:
Tetramorium bicarinatum is a common tramp species usually found inside of houses, in greenhouses and shade houses, or in landscaped areas near houses. In Costa Rica it can be found almost anywhere, particularly in the lowlands. During my studies in Corcovado National Park in the early 1980's I was always surprised how even in remote guard stations T. bicarinatum was present in the houses but not in the surrounding second growth forest.
Workers are very generalized omnivores and scavengers.
