Pyramica queen? - Strumigenys rostrata - Female
Indiana, USA
November 9, 2006
I thought this and the other pyramica I have (http://bugguide.net/node/view/100348/bgimage) were the same species as they came out of the funnel, but this one has teeth along the entire inner edge of the mandibles whereas the other only has teeth along the first half. I think this one may also be a queen as it looks as if it has wing scars, so that may account for the difference.
