Found these yellow sneaking ants, Cardiocondyla wroughtonii, in one of UT Austin's greenhouses. A worldwide tramp ant, but not one we normally see in central Texas. #Ants #Insects #Cardiocondyla

@alexwild@mastodon.online Aren't these one of the ones with some wingless males who just hang around the nest?

@alexwild@mastodon.online Look, you may disapprove of their lifestyle, but “tramp” is so uncalled for.

@alexwild@mastodon.online Not sure why, but C. wroughtonii is one of my favorite ants. I get excited whenever one shows up in the ant traps we deploy here on Maui.
