Description
All wood ants are red and black in colour and are the largest ants in Britain. Examination of the head allows species to be identified (2). The Scottish wood ant, Formica aquilonia has a fringe of hairs on the rear of the head that does not extend down to the eyes (6). The thorax is reddish-brown and is paler than the head; it has fewer, shorter hairs than the other British wood ants (7).
