  1. Reading about the spread of fire ants in the 40s through the American South. Mistakes were made.

    Can we be more wise about Lasius emarginatus?

  2. I’m always happy to see Camponotus castaneus one of the more rare ants in New York City. At first I was disappointed to see two of them fighting each other, but I realized that meant that there must be at least *two* colonies living in close proximity, so when they have their nuptial flight, there is a chance that there will be mated queens! #ants #antsnyc #nycants

    (Fighting for now... romeANTs later)

  3. These are Lasius emarginatus, common name “Manhatant” This colony is at least three years old and massive.
