Formica neogagates
Class:Insecta
Order:Hymeoptera
Family:Formicidae
Genus:Formica
Small to medium sized dark brown to blackish ant. Colonies are usually very active during the day and nests are in the soil. Many small entrances can be found in a local area that are probably all connected to the same colony. Workers are slightly polymorphic, with the smaller workers tending to do more of the foraging (Nonacs).
