Don't know what was going on here. These ladies were swarming up through a crack in the sidewalk. All workers as far as I could tell.

iNaturalist algorithm thinks they're "Immigrant Pavement Ants"

Love the appearance of thistle flowers. There is really an amazing variety of wildflowers and plants in this city.

Excellent!

I'm a big fan of iNaturalist. Contribute observations several times a week.

Also occasionally find it helpful for identifying plants that people ask about.
