Tetramorium insolens (Smith, 1861)
|
Tetramorium insolens is a species of ant in the genus Tetramorium.[1] It is a medium-sized orange ant that is mainly seen on vegetation, has a monomorphic work caste with 12-segmented antennae, three-segmented antennal club, short antennal scapes that do not surpass the posterior margin of the head, a gradually sloped mesosoma, and strong propodeal spines. It has two waist segments and a gaster with a stinger.[2]
The species lives primarily and natively in the Pacific Island region,[3] with an invasive and non-native yet established presence recorded in Austria, Hungary, France, and the Netherlands.[4]
