On Encelia
Small pile of expired ants
Made a post of this colony earlier but the camera quality sucked so I figured I’d make a new post.
Same colony as a previous observation I posted but I got a slightly better camera and so I decided to come back and take some more pictures.
Found a trail of these girls going right by the entrance of a Vero Messer Andre nest. (Who would periodically chase these smaller ants around)
Preliminary identification for CNC 2024: Hyatt's Carpenter Ant (Camponotus hyatti). Photographed on private property in Sacramento, CA.
Cold, and cloudy day , ants found on parking lot eating a candy.
