lynxrufa's Identifications

even where they are faily common i think I've not seen a proper populated trail

antennae seems its sabuleti

Colony dominating some low branches and nearby sign board. I always had an impression of D. sibiricus being incompetent aphid keepers. maybe their sisters are bit better

much smaller than I thought

never seen them forage this much in Jena, maybe its seasonal? or maybe related to the population density?

they probably make up most of Vienna ant biomass, but I always end up not taking pictures as much. like compared to Dolichoderus or Formica

I think?

sesame seeds

due to their conspicuous color patterns these ants seem to be overrepresented on iNaturalist. Don't mind if I make it worse

wan't planning to spam these ants but they're so often near Dolichoderus

bit paler than in Jena

The pictures are taken by @ants_netherlands21

I always forget how beautiful they are

Dolichofriends

I believe I never skipped quadripunctatus this trail

not so subterranean

I like their double tip petiole

looks so short for aphaenos

Is someone keep changing this ant's common name?

smol

dominating the sandy faces of this hill

no parasites here

seemed to be monogygous thats weird
