Lasius Minutus
''Lasius'' is a genus of Formicinae, formicine ants. The type species for this genus is the black garden ant, ''Lasius niger''. Other major members, which live in drier heathland, are the cornfield ant, ''Lasius neoniger, L. neoniger'', and ''Lasius alienus, L. alienus''. Other species include the temporary social parasites of the Lasius mixtus group, ''L. mixtus'' group and the hyper-social parasite ''Lasius fuliginosus''. ''Lasius flavus'' is also a commonly seen species, building grassy hillocks in undisturbed pasture. In the Alps, these mounds – always aligned east to catch the first rays of the rising sun – have been traditionally used by goatherds as natural compasses. Species in the subgenus ''Acanthomyops'', in particular ''Lasius interjectus, L. interjectus'' and ''Lasius claviger, L. claviger'', are commonly known as citronella ants due to their citronella oil, citronella-like smell.

The Eocene ( ) is a geological epoch (geology), epoch that lasted from about 56 to 33.9 million years ago (Ma).

The Eocene spans the time from the end of the Paleocene Epoch to the beginning of the Oligocene Epoch. The start of the Eocene is marked by a brief period in which the concentration of the carbon isoto ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lasius Aphidicola
''Lasius umbratus'', colloquially known as the yellow shadow ant and yellow lawn ant, is a Palearctic species of parasitic ant distributed across Eurasia and the Maghreb region of Africa. It was once thought that this species occurred in North America as well, but comparative genomic studies indicate the Afro-Eurasian and American populations are discrete and not closely related enough to represent a single species. The North American populations are now treated as a different species, ''Lasius aphidicola''. The queens of this species seek out a ''Lasius niger'' worker ant to first kill in order to gain the worker ant's scent An odor (American English) or odour (English in the Commonwealth of Nations, Commonwealth English; American and British English spelling differences#-our, -or, see spelling differences) is a smell or a scent caused by one or more volatilized ... and then to discreetly sneak inside a ''L. niger'' nest.

Antennae do not have any erect Seta, setae (stiff hair like structures), and propodeum and back legs typically have very few near their base. Habitat and distribution Woodland fuzzy ants are typically found in North America, most predominantly in southern Canada and the eastern United States. They are most commonly found in temperate forests and woodlands, usually under rotting wood or in trees. Entymology ''Lasius americanus'' used to be referred to as ''Lasius alienus'' but has been labeled as its own species since 2018 and was included in ''Lasius niger'' before that.
