Myrmecina graminicola is a species of ant found throughout Northern Africa, Europe, Asia, and elsewhere in the Palearctic realm.

Its colonies build nests in soil, under rocks, and in leaf litter.

[3] It was described in 1802 by Pierre André Latreille,[1] initially in the genus Formica.

When a worker encounters an intruder, it starts to play dead with its legs and antennae folded.

The ant colonies move around following the queen's pheromone trail.
