-Caught this queen about a week ago around 4/4/22

-Found in a park with several, and lots of trees

-Size is about like 1/2 an inch to 3/4

-All black body, Red legs, yellow lines on thorax

When I originally caught it, I found it along which other queens which at the time I thought were all the same species, but later realized it looked different then the other queens

Liometopum occidentale.

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).
