Queen Identification

[TheRealAntMan]

On antmaps.org it says that C. Pennsylvanicus is found in Idaho

Antmaps also used to think Lasius nearcticus and Lasius umbratus were the same species and a bunch of other bull. So not the most reliable source.

Thanks, probably should have trusted you at first

[AntsIdaho]

So am I getting this right: Queen one is C. Modoc and queen two is C. Vicinus?

[TheRealAntMan]

Correct!

[AntsIdaho]

Thanks, I've been wondering the species and can now say what species they are.

I also checked antweb.org and they don't have C. Pennsylanicus listed.

Can you let me in on the good sources?

It's more of experience and remembrance for me . Antweb is a great source though, they are more accurate and specific with their information too.

Okay, cool! Well, we all appreciate the expertise. Do you have a professional background in this?

Nope, just lots of research. I actually minored once in entomology, specifically in the order of Hymenoptera (only wasps though). That eventually led me to ants.
