Re: From UK first year hunting
From research would I be correct in thinking lasius Niger and lasius flavus?

The black one looks like a Formica sp queen to me. It could be Formica Fusca. The one with yellow legs is most likely not an ant, but rather a fly or a beemusicman1701 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02, 2019 9:12 amFrom research would I be correct in thinking lasius Niger and lasius flavus?
