https://imgur.com/HehN91DI'm pretty sure this is Leptothorax canadensis, but some confirmation would help this is in southern Washington, and it was found in a smaller branch

Try to embed your photos. Many on this forum, including myself, will not click on outside links. :D

Thanks!

Does Leptothorax have a specific diet. They are taking the sunburst ant nectar but not the earwigs and I have SEEN the larvae. Cause I really want to keep this colony alive

My temnothorax will swarm over house flys as well as termites.
