While I was out anting, I saw a beautiful red metallic ant and I've been dying to know what species it was. I found it in Lake Tahoe, CA.

It might have been a red velvet “ant” which is actually a wingless wasp with a really painful sting.

My favorite queens/colony’s:
Pheidole Tysoni, Selonopis Molesta, Brachymyrmex Depilis, Tetramorium Immagrians, Prenolepis Imparis, Pheidole Bicirinata

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<.
