  • LocationSan Francisco Peninsula - Millbrae

Capture Date:  July 12th 2023

Capture Location: Millbrae, California near Josephine Waugh - Soroptomist

Terrain:  Oak wood with a nearby man made seasonal creek

Size:  ~5 - 7mm

Notes:  I assumed this is a Formica as it's almost hyper in the way it moves. 

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thank you in advance.

Looks more like F. moki to me.

There's a few fusca-group species to choose from in the Bay Area, however F. francoeuri is not one. Distinguishing between F. aerata and F. moki will be difficult with those photos.
