Disturbed Lasius flavus (yellow meadow ant) nest with pupae

Lasius flavus, the yellow meadow ant, spends most of its time underground. They prefer not to move out in the open visible to the sun and predators. Instead they are very well adapted to a life beneath the surface. In their small tunnels they hunt for insects. They are very shy and friendly and tend to keep underground aphids.
