Found some ants eating some of my bugs and wondering what species and more importantly if they can harm a gargoyle gecko? Ant worker has a pale yellow gaster and black head to mesosoma location southwest Florida and seem most active at night with acasual worker spotted through out the day the seem to be 1-2mm long

Do you think they can kill a gargoyle gecko?

For some reason these ghost/tramp ants thought it would be great idea to move in my gargoyle gecko’s tank so I just wanted to make sure they won’t cause any damage to him, he wasn’t cheap! :lol:
