Formicidae (Ants) Insect Adult Pictures



 This 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.

This insect was collected from the Neversink River on September 5th, 2006 and added to Troutnut.com on October 3rd, 2006.
