Over 100 species of ants can be found in the Midwestern state of Kansas. ==Kansas ants== Kansas ant species include common ants and ones with wings. Some Kansas ants create mounds that are a common sight - ''Pogonomyrmex occidentalis'', ''Formica subsericea'', ''Formica montana'', and ''Formica planipilis''. Ants of the subfamily Dolichoderinae are frequently found in Kansas. Dolichoderinae ants may be the only ants that can survive in Kansas' harsher environments. Ants of the former subfamily Ecitoninae (now Dorylinae) mostly go unnoticed in Kansas because they can not tolerate direct sunlight. ''Neivamyrmex nigrescens'' and ''Neivamyrmex opacithorax'' are the most commonly found ants of this rarely seen subfamily. ''Crematogaster punctulata'' and ''Monomorium minimum'' of the subfamily Myrmicinae are frequently found in Kansas while many others are not as abundant. The only ant of the subfamily Ponerinae that is found in all of Kansas is ''Hypoponera opacior''. Despite ''Ponera pennsylvanica'' not being found statewide, the species is also commonly found in Kansas along with ''Hypoponera opacior''. Ants of the subfamily Formicinae are the second most abundant species in Kansas, right after Myrmicinae ants. Ants in the genus Camponotus and Formica are the most commonly found in this subfamily. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of ants of Kansas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
