Formica - Formica francoeuri - female
Copyright © 2008 Hartmut Wisch

Formica - Formica francoeuri - Female
Upper Big Tujunga Canyon Rd., San Gabriel Mountains, Los Angeles County, California, USA
May 28, 2008
Size: ~ 10 mm
Though the hole cannot be seen in this image, the ant is only ~ 12mm away from it.
Since wing stubs are visible, this one must have had wings; perhaps a group with multiple queens?
