    I'm not going to add the ID for now because Lasius niger is a European species. It seems to have been introduced to some parts of eastern Canada and the PNW, but it is not common to CA. To ID is as L. niger, you would probably need a photo of the face to show the hairs on the antennal scape. Posted 2 years ago

    Oh. I didn't know. It was a moving target too. Not sure my phone is that good to pick that up. Posted 2 years ago

      No problem :)

      Ants are so difficult to photograph! We can leave the ID off for now.       Posted 2 years ago
