The species is Strumigenys clypeata and was found in Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn (It’s a very old public cemetery almost like a park). They were nesting in an invasive maple tree stump next to an Aphaenogaster nest. I saw two foraging workers, one of which was carrying a baby cotton springtail.

Here’s a pic:

I can't see the photo. This is very cool in any case.

Starting this July I'm posting videos of my ants every week on youTube.

I like to make relaxing videos that capture the joy of watching ants.

If that sounds like your kind of thing... follow me >here<.

Thanks, I’m visiting my grandparents right now and they don’t have good WiFi so sometimes it says there’s an error and it can’t be shared
