Lasius claviger
yellow orange ants
Nice series, I love watching ants..and how interesting that these give off a smell if squished- though I wouldn't dream of squishing them :)
hmm maybe ill look into it someday lol
:) oddly enough, its a pleasing aroma
ha! i was wondering about their name
These are called Citronella Ants because they emit a very citrusy smell when squished.
started an ANT mission for those interested :)http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1023...
