The club-like ends of the antennae and proportionate size of the mesosoma suggest Myrmica, to me.Mdrogun wrote:The ant in the pictures is Aphaenogster sp.antsMAN wrote:She was a Myrmica sp. queen.

Manicais located, according to Antwiki.org "Four of the six species in this genus are found in western North America. One species is endemic to Japan and the other is Palearctic."Batspiderfish wrote:Not in Nova Scotia.Mdrogun wrote:Batspiderfish wrote: I it might have helped if the ID request came with a measurement.
