Well, hate to break it to you, but those are commonly found(and recorded) in the state of Connecticut.


Hi there! I went on a 6 month or so hiatus, in part due, and in part cause of the death of my colonies. 

However, I went back to the Sierras, and restarted my collection, which is now as follows:

Aphaenogaster uinta, Camponotus vicinus, Camponotus modoc, Formica cf. aserva, Formica cf. micropthalma, Formica cf. manni, Formica subpolita, Formica cf. subaenescens, Lasius americanus, Manica invidia, Pogonomyrmex salinus, Pogonomyrmex sp. 1, Solenopsis validiuscula, & Solenopsis sp. 3 (new Sierra variant).

Formica sanguinea is a European species. It is probably another slave raiding sp.

He was talking about AntMaps and AntWiki. I've seen them all over the place, yet I don't see them being recorded.

That's strange... selecting "diversity view" you don't see tetramorium immigrans in Connecticut

Antmaps doesn't show exotic species unless you specifically tell it to give you their range.

Yes. AntMaps' diversity view shows what species are native, not what species are present.

CheetoLord02 and I actually managed to find two unrecorded of Nylanderia species together in IL on the same trip xD. The one I found, and am currently keeping a colony of, was Nylanderia cf. querna. Cool little species. They seem like if Temnothorax sp. hybridized with Nylanderia  :lol:

Well, Nylanderia querna technically is documented in IL, just not very well. It definitely was cool to confirm their presence in the state cus their records definitely seemed questionable before.

Oh you are right! My mistake. There's no locations, and their records definitely did seem questionable, so yeah it's good that I was able to confirm their presence.

Added new species to my list! I finally got the specimens from Kentucky identified, though I'm having trouble with the Monomorium.

Hah, good luck with that Monomorium, save yourself the headache and leave it at Monomorium sp.

Camponotus americanus, which were not previously recorded, are actually quite common here, as far as Camponotus go (which isn’t that common, but still).

What is the distinct feature of camponotus, so I can identify them.

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. -Proverbs 6: 6-8
