Colobopsis truncataObserver
cluraritDescription
for me Colobopsis being here is weird. Colobopsis is Tropic-subtropic in my head. same goes to those C. mississippiensis casually being in New York. Actually both winter ant species also. I guess only the cold adapted species had spread out of Asia but still, makes me feel funny

same reason:
Rhône valley is known for hybridizing cinerea&selysi. I'm leaving at higher level till I get a clue

I'd say cinerea but this region is part of where cinerea and selysi hybridize which the hybirds are known to resemble cinerea more than the other, so I'd rather not id it to the species.
looks a bit different from the cinerea I've seen in Leipzig though

This colony seemed to be the type that does not carry any host workers and instead spawn smaller workers
