neville parkAnts & lichen, also from yesterday. I think these are _Prenolepis imparis_, a cold-hardy ant.

Morning light on the insect hotel and ADUs. No visitors yet, but I've seen male Osmia nearby so won't be long. New to the hotel this year are offerings of pithy stems (hydrangea, rose) to hopefully attract small carpenter bees (Ceratina) and digger wasps (Pemphredon). #InsectHotel #BeeHotel #bees #wasps #insects #hymenoptera #pollinators #biology
I did manage to get some time outside in the nice weather today! It was nuptial flight day for _Prenolepis imparis_, cold-active ants who are typically the last to hunker down for the winter and the first to come out in the spring. Unfortunately these were the best photos I could get.
