1. Under dead log bark

2. 6/11/2024
3. Mesic woodland (not sure of tree type)
4. roughly 3-3.5mm
5. Head and thorax are dark red and the gaster can be reddish or bright orange depending on if there is light shining.
6. Mesosoma is mostly flat and very little hair. Tip of gaster is curver inwards and positioned towards end of gaster. Sort of difficult to make out the hairs on the gaster but maybe the            pictures can help.

7. N/A
8. Moderately rotted log nesting in the premade cavities under bark. 

9. N/A

10.

 

 

Probably going to be the best images I can get with current setup.

P. silaceum seems to be a decent fit.Though, I've yet to really look into Eastern US species much.
