Formica cunicularia is a species of ant found all over Europe.[1] They are especially common in western Europe and southern England, but they can be found from southern Scandinavia to northern Africa and from Portugal to the Urals.[1] In England, Donisthorpe records the species as having occurred as far north as Bewdley in Worcestershire.[2] In Formica cunicularia, the worker is an ashy grey black color and is usually 4.0–6.5 mm long.[1] The males are found to have a uniformly dark body and are 8.0–9.0 mm long.[1] The queen is yellowish red to dark black and is 7.5–9.0 mm.[1]
