2 Insect Specimens in the Order Hymenoptera:
Formicidae (Ants) Ant Adult
View 7 PicturesI collected this flying ant from the surface of a popular Catskill trout stream, where its species prompted steady rising from selective trout for several late-morning hours. It was mixed with smaller ants of a different color, and I photographed one of them too.

Formicidae (Ants) Ant Adult
View 3 PicturesThis tiny size 24 flying ant was mixed with a larger variety (see this specimen) falling on the surface of a Catskill river. The trout seemed to respond well to ants of both sizes.

Given their home on a mossy stump in the stream bed, these light orange ants probably end up in the stream from time to time.
