Lasius neglectus
''Lasius neglectus'' is a polygynous, sometimes invasive, ant of the genus ''Lasius''. The ant was identified in 1990 after establishing a colony in Budapest, Hungary. Superficially, they are similar in appearance to the common black garden ant, ''Lasius niger'', but have significantly different behavioural patterns, particularly in the social structure within colonies.〔
''Lasius neglectus'' is believed to be prey for several animals and insects, specifically ''Clytra laeviuscula'' and some Picidae family birds.
==Colonies==
''Lasius neglectus'' occupies 'super colonies', systems of interconnected nests with many queens, estimated to be over 35,500 in some colonies. The queens, instead of moving to a new nest to start a new colony, will mate within the existing colony. Unlike most ant species, queens mate underground and are incapable of flight. As the occupants of these colonies are related, they do not demonstrate territorial aggression.〔
''Lasius neglectus'' does not build elaborate nests, instead, the species usually nests under flat stones, in the topsoil under leaf litter and even in trash piles. In human habitats, ''L. neglectus'' tends to nest inside electrical devices. Like other invasive ant species, ''L. neglectus'' relies on honeydew for its main food source and, but for a single instance in a grassland without trees in Tbilisi, known food sources come exclusively from insect prey and honeydew-producing insects on trees.〔
