Lasius brevicornis
Short-horned Meadow Ant
Lasius brevicornis is a small ant species in the genus Lasius, commonly known as the Short-horned Meadow Ant. It is the North American counterpart to the European yellow meadow ant (Lasius flavus), with which it was formerly confused. The species inhabits meadow and grassland environments, where it constructs subterranean nests and tends root-feeding aphids for honeydew.
