They dispersed within a couple of hours. No specimens were kept, and I only have this one bad photo. Is there anyone able to identify the type of ant? I did not see them myself but the conservator on site thought they looked like pavement ants, while our pest control contractor identified them as carpenter ants. Do I need to worry? The house does have museum objects in it, especially wood furniture.
Any information/thoughts are most welcome!
