Unknown Ant Queen? UK
Posted: Fri Oct 05, 2018 2:09 pm
So sitting there minding my business drinking my tea because you know British and all. Out the corner of my eye I catch a winged ant?? I was instantly confused I'm sure flights for the ants in my area of the UK were over till next year??
I'm not sure what this little guy is, doesn't look like the other Lasius queens i have plus isnt she a little late in that case? Could it be a male drone but they only live a few weeks??
The ant in question is here: http://imgur.com/a/2aWUVDy
It's an orangey blacky yellowy colour? I'm not sure if its a queen. My hunch is that its a very late male but if anyone can clear my confusion up for me that would be super!
