Ants (Formicidae) - Lasius umbratus

I was wandering around the Fylton Forest one afternoon when I decided to gently lift one of the logs that is used as a stool. I was happy to find these ants farming aphids and some with larva. I've often wonderd how they work together. Then I found this quote by Dr. James C. Trager on Bugguide.net

    Nice pictures of these intersting critters, from a beautiful part of the world.
