#lasiusemarginatus Timeline

145d

This is the sighting map for Lasius emarginatus. It's become rather famous in NYC, and I've observed it many times this spring. Based on the articles I've read, Lasius emarginatus is not found in cities in Europe and tends to live in trees in the forest? Is this true? Have any of ya'll over there seen this ant?

Also, I'm not buying that this ant hasn't made it to any other US cities. I will explain how to spot it and identify it.

A map of the Eastern US, Canada and Europe. Central Europe is covered in red squares that represent sightings of Lasius emarginatus. There are also a few red dots on NYC, but no other sightings in the US or Canada.

More #Lasiusemarginatus drama. These ants are not a super colony. This worker from an adjacent colony is being drawn and quartered… or would “drawn and dodecared” be more accurate?

A group of red and black ants they seem to all be facing each other

looking more closely, there’s one ant in the center, and the other ants each have one of her legs, and they are pulling
