The lovely Lasius alienus.

But please be sure to include measurements in your ID requests.

If you've enjoyed using my expertise and identifications, please do not create undue ecological risk by releasing your ants. The environment which we keep our pet insects is alien and oftentimes unsanitary, so ensure that wild populations stay safe by giving your ants the best care you can manage for the rest of their lives, as we must do with any other pet.

Exotic ants are for those who think that vibrant diversity is something you need to pay money to see. It is illegal to transport live ants across state lines.

Black lives still matter.

Hey yoman, I live on the east coast too. What type of environment did you find her in, what's the weather been like where you are, what time of day did you find her, and did you see any flights?
