Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Habits and Behavior of the Corn-Field Ant, Lasius Niger Americanus
The little brown ant notorious for its injuries to corn, and called by as, consequently, the corn - field ant, is not by any means limited to corn fields, but is abundant in all cultivated lands, in pastures and meadows, in dense forests, along hard pathways, and in the sandy soil of dry sunny roads. One sometimes finds it nesting in rotten wood or under bark, logs, or stones, and even opening up its underground burrows to the surface between the bricks of sidewalks and pavements. It is distributed over the whole of North America, except the extreme southern and southwestern portions, from the tree line on the highest mountains to the sands of the Wheeler says that it is the most abundant of our ants, and hence of all our insects.
