Queen Silky Ant (Formica fusca)

No this isn't a mistake!

There's a VERY good reason why I'm posting almost the exact same photo of the same species twice in one week.

    Hi all

    I've just returned from a (planned) spell in hospital, but thought I'd let you know, I spent a good 30 mins the day before I went in observing the nest entrance and saw no further kidnap attempts.

    I'm still unsure as to what what going on, however?     Posted 2 years ago
