F. rufibarbis/pratensis/trunicola as well as Myrmica laevinodis & Camponotus ligniperda amongst others are quoted from continental Europe. It was also speculated that it lived apart from ants in some areas. Some of the Sloggett & Majerus papers are on-line and quite relevant to this thread.
With regard to London, C. magnifica this is only found in any numbers on the Surrey Heaths. With regard to London proper, I have no records; it was not noted at the solitary recorded wood-ant colony in Middlesex! |
Thanks Paul. No wonder I have yet to find any
WA!
