Caught recently in Auckland, New Zealand. I think she is a Nylanderia but not sure.

 

Anyone able to confirm?

She has the look of a Nylanderia, but can you provide more info from the ID template.

This is either Nylanderia, or Prolasius advenus.

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).

Please don't add to old ID threads if you are not contributing something that was already stated. This way, the forum is less cluttered.
