RE: [pestlist] Unknown Bug

A dorsal view in addition to those oblique ones would help ID this true bug. 
It's an outdoor living species.

Hello everyone,



This small bug was found near a costume on display. I have not had any luck 
identifying it and would appreciate any help!



Thank you,

The one on the right looks like a yellow ant/citronella ant. Terro PCO Bait 
stations will knock them down if they are trailing in. Terro bait stations are 
self contained mixture of corn syrup and boric acidbasically very safe.

Hello Pestlist,



I am seeking help identifying the ants caught in this trap here at the Ringling 
in Sarasota, FL. We have had similar ants of varying sizes found in other 
traps, but it is unclear to me whether these are all the same type of ant or 
different. Also any information on the type of ants would be helpful. The trap 
was placed on the second floor in our paper storage archive. Any information is 
greatly appreciated!



Thanks,
