Parasitic Formica. didn't zoom in enough. Thank you Kael.


Edited by NickAnter, August 23 2020 - 3:21 PM.

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).

Parasitic Lasius.

Are you sure? It looks like Formica to me.

Some people on discord says it was neogagates, aren't parasites red?

Could be. I don’t think it’s a parasite.

Color has nothing to do with it.
