Ant expert discovers newly emergent species in his backyard
(PHYSorg.com Biology)

Jack Longino is a global ant expert and has traveled the world documenting and discovering ant species. But for his latest discovery, he didn`t need to go any farther than his own backyard. In August 2018, just after dark, Longino caught a glimpse of four ants in his garden that really looked out of place. The next day he dug deeper and found more specimens. They reminded him of species he knew from the tropics or from the deciduous forests of the eastern U.S.
