Warm evening for a mating flight
I may need @froggy143 's help here
It was very hard to get a still shot of the queen running into her hole, I’m new to this but it looks like some honeypot ant
I have no idea what these ants are eating, and I'm not sure if the orange ants are different from the black ones. I think they are, but I don't know ants very well.
This observation is for the orange ants
Very small ants that made a long trench across the trail, with occasional deeper spots serving as nest entrances.
first IL iNat observation yippee
