Now Lasius emarginatus is from Italy and Europe so a heat wave shouldn't kill them. But I haven't seen them since that heat wave.
I almost want to go into Manhattan and check on the colonies I know ...
There is a WAR for the whole city and sometimes I feel like the only person who knows about it.
Lasius neoniger is more common than ever, but these ants always start too many colonies in the most goofy locations only a slim few will still be around in spring.
The Tetramorium immigrans are unchanged, in fact they seemed to enjoy the heat and were the only ants out on those hot days.
Solenopsis molesta recently had their nuptial flights, and you hardly ever see them except when they fly.
