False honey Ants (Prenolepis imparis) - workers
Sorry for having overlooked these pictures until now. The proof that this widespread species does exist in Southern California too.

Thanks so much, Richard
I'm very pleased to have any ants IDed. Do you find posts easier to access when done as ID Requests, or when they're a bit more specific than this one? (I'm thinking about going back to doing most such posts as ID Requests and would appreciate your thoughts.)

This is the second California post on this ant, the original being on March 31, 2005.
