I was going to check Lake Arrowhead area but I couldn't really find a good place to park and walk around like parks or trails. I would appreciate some tips on location for that area! I decided to check Mt. Baldy instead since I've been there once before now.
1. Location of collection: Mt. Baldy
2. Date of collection: 05/09/18
3. Habitat of collection: Dirt / gravel mounds.
4. Length: 8mm
5. Coloration, hue, pattern and texture: Weird looking, has brown spots on it. Could just be dirt though. Black thorax, red head, mix of black and red on abdomen.
6. Distinguishing characteristics: Hairy, two petioles
7. Anything else distinctive:
8. Nest description: N/A
9. Nuptial flight time and date: 20:30 - 22:30
10. Pictures:
I think this next one is Dorymyrmex bicolor but would like confirmation. The abdomen has that Dorymyrmex black with silver shine with light but it seems smaller and different than what I remember. Probably just not remembering right though.
