| The small black garden ant Lasius niger seen here in a meadow close to a housing estate in Larhkhill, Formby. The queens are climbing to escape the males to try and fly off to form new colonies elsewhere. also as they land they are then mobbed by males seeking to mate and both these events may be seen together at the same place |
