new ant id
I'm not sure if this is a queen or some worker. Was found today at 545pm in Manlius ny. It is about 4mm and was found walking on the sidewalk. There were lots of active ants around idk if lasius or harvesters but she was out of place a bit larger than the small species around. Happened to find her on the same corner as the tetramorium queens I had found yesterday.
Re: new ant id
Can you see wing scars on her thorax? If so then she is a queen. She looks a lot like a queen

Re: new ant id
I think it's a queen. She is a lazarus. Only saying that cause I can see her legs and antenna are yellow. no worker ants I know of have that trait. I'd say I'm 98.9 percent sure. Nice catch btw

Re: new ant id
This is Tapinoma sessile, which fly June and July in your region. Lasius umbratus and Lasius alienus are much larger.

Re: new ant id
Thank you sir had kno idea I would have been tapinoma sessile. I have heard they are a polygynous species but will a sessile queen produce other queens for the colony growth like solenopsis molesta, or because I have only found the single queen should I expect a monogynous colony?Batspiderfish wrote:This is Tapinoma sessile, which fly June and July in your region.
