| Observations | I found this arthropod at an ant colony just beside a parking lot at the Wickenheiser. I collected the ant at around 11:20 am, and it was cloudy and windy. The temperature was about 19 degrees C outside, and there were signs of rain. There were many ants from this colony, but I only collected three from this specific black ant hill. This is number two of three. |
