Myrmica incompleta

ObservationsObservations of this species.

Face view (low res, high res);
Lateral view (low res, high res).

This is a member of a genus that has several species in our area, but it is difficult to tell species apart and the names for them are not well worked out. These ants nest in the ground and like open areas. The colonies are small and you never see a lot of them together. If you get your nose down to the ground on a sunny day in a lawn with open bare patches, you may see workers of these walking around.
