Sometimes the IDs on iNaturalist feel like:"There are four kinds of ants. If it's a black ant and little it's niger. Lasius niger is Brittish, but if the ant has an American accent then it's neoniger. If it's big it's Camponotus pennsylvanicus. If it's red and angry it's Solenopsis invicta if it's larger, red and not angry then it's a pogo.":/I mean... I get it. But, there are so many other ants.

@futurebird “if the ant has an American accent” is giving me vibes like disturbing an ant pathway and hearing a very, very quiet “ay! I’m walkin’ heah!”

That was how this encounter felt.
(The pavement ants did not like me shining a photography light in their nest.)
