Why do you ask that? No, T. caespitum is claustral. It would probably be Tetramorium impurum at this time of year.

Oops! except that species is not found in your area, apparently? T. caespitum would be appropriate, then, if that is the right genus.Tedapro wrote: ↑Thu Sep 14, 2017 9:39 amoh someone tould me that i had Tetramorium caespitumBatspiderfish wrote: ↑Thu Sep 14, 2017 7:29 amWhy do you ask that?
