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.

Re: Queen Identification
Thanks, I've been wondering the species and can now say what species they are.
Re: Queen Identification
I also checked antweb.org and they don't have C. Pennsylanicus listed.

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.WillWithAnts wrote: ↑Tue May 21, 2019 4:04 pmCan you let me in on the good sources?TheRealAntMan wrote: ↑Mon May 20, 2019 9:15 pmAntmaps also used to think Lasius nearcticus and Lasius umbratus were the same species and a bunch of other bull.

Re: Queen Identification
Nope, just lots of research. I actually minored once in entomology, specifically in the order of Hymenoptera (only wasps though).
