This is the sighting map for Lasius emarginatus. It's become rather famous in NYC, and I've observed it many times this spring. Based on the articles I've read, Lasius emarginatus is not found in cities in Europe and tends to live in trees in the forest? Is this true? Have any of ya'll over there seen this ant?
Also, I'm not buying that this ant hasn't made it to any other US cities. I will explain how to spot it and identify it.

At first they ran, but they they had to capture and kill both of the foragers who stumbled on their tiny home.
In the Bronx we still don't have many Lasius emarginatus so the pavement is ruled by Tetramorium immigrans who have all started staking out the best locations.
I was happy to see that the Camponotus castaneus colony in the park survived the winter. I will bring them some feeder crickets. They are my favorite.

We think of Lasius ants (fuzzy garden ants) as small but this Lasius emarginatus (the ManhatANT) worker has either killed or foraged a much larger black ant and is scaling a vertical wall to take it back to her nest. Urban ants are often more attracted to protein than sweets. They are the largest lasius workers I’ve ever seen.

There is a Lasius emarginatus colony right by the front door of my school that I've been watching for about 4 years. They enjoy the garden of one of the houses next-door to our school. Every winter I wonder if they are gone forever, but every spring they emerge again from the same tiny hole.
They like to have a single entrance to their colony just like Lasius neoniger.
I wonder how they found their colonies? When do they fly? This should be a fun summer!

The #antbagbeetle #Clytra laeviuscula (#Chrysomelidae, #Coleoptera) is a #phytophagous #beetle #species widespread in Europe with a #myrmicophilic relationship of the #larvae and #pupae to #antnests of the genera #Formica, #Lasius and Camponotus. The larva lives mainly from the food of the ant larvae. It is protected from ant attacks by own dropping pieces (#skatoconches). Pupation also takes place in this protected manner. #evolution #biodiversity

_Lasius_ nuptial flight day!!! _L. neoniger_, I'm pretty sure. These are some of the most common ants I see, but I'd never seen a nuptial flight till now.
I found an alate the moment after she detached her wings!

For those who know anything about ants, here's a weird one: Lasius xerophilus.
Most Lasius species live in north temperate/boreal forests. This one? Sand dunes in North American deserts. A total oddball, and unexpected, living alongside classic desert species like Pogonomyrmex harvester ants.
Photographed at Monahans Sand Dunes, Texas.

Kann mir eine Fachperson sagen, ob das Lasius fugilinosus ist? Das wäre total nett! #entomology #entomologie #ameisen #insekten #insects #ants #lasius #followerpower

@StrepsipZerg
I have several very big colonies of black garden ant (Lasius niger) in my small garden, where they — much to my dismay — are undermining tiled areas.
Now I am wondering: What are the ants doing during the winter? Do they sleep? Or do they just stay indoors and feast on stored food? Or do most of the worker ants die so that a colony starts almost from scratch come springtime?

OMG. who the heck is flying in NY today? Just saw majorly big winged queen alate on 145th street in Harlem too big for #tetramorium or #Lasius — but not a big #Pennsylvanicus queen either. She was dark brown and didn’t want me to get a good look at her since she flew away.
Everyone at the bus stop thinks i’m crazy

"an eccentric British myrmecologist and coleopterist, memorable in part for his enthusiastic championing of the renaming of the genus Lasius after him as Donisthorpea, and for his many claims of discovering new species of beetles and ants."
Ok but this guy is hilarious. Even more so since #Lasius is one of the most common genera of #ants and lol he clearly didn't win this one.

CW: Have you ever seen ants mating?
Right on the windshield of our car, this past summer. The male is indeed tiny. Crummy photo, was as spontaneous and unplanned as it gets: at a traffic light!
Lasius sp. (likely but unconfirmed) https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/125201675 There are more photos at the #iNaturalist entry.
