Just to get in the mood, I spent some time in the heat and rain chasing ants.
Samples:
Visual scan at Watkins and Headquarters, 60 min each, 5 and 4 species.
Baits ... 2 species at Watkins, 1 at Evergreen (but 4/5 of traps lost).
Pitfalls ... Watkins traps got 5 or 6 species. Photos below: 2 formicinae, 3 (?) myrmicinae, 1 dolichoderinae. The total species list is perhaps 7 or 8 including other sites.
