What a lovely surprise! I've been wanting to find this species for years! I wasn't expecting to find it on a relatively cold, rainy day in a parking lot. Third photo is a bit better quality but the first and second photo show it as I found it on a tree.

Domestic Booklice (Genus Liposcelis)Observer
mettcollsussDescription
Collected from my Pogonomyrmex occidentalis colony's setup. I'm guessing they were eating the discarded seeds in the foraging area. I also found these guys in my Camponotus pennsylvanicus colony's setup. I assume they came in on the dubia roaches, since that's the only thing I've fed both colonies that could carry these.
If any other photos are needed for a more accurate ID, let me know.

Silky Field Ant (Formica subsericea)Observer
mettcollsussDescription
Found dead on a sandy hiking trail. The immediate area was scattered with dead F. subsericea queens. This one was one of the only ones in decent condition. The dead queens were being scavenged by a worker of a parasitic Formica species, probably sanguinea group.
