Lasius

Lasius are commonly encountered ants in a wide variety of habitats in the north temperate zone in both the old and the new world. Some species are social parasites, and many are subterranean. Ants in the endemic North American subgenus Acanthomyops are temporary social parasites of other Lasius species and produce a strong citronella odor when disturbed.
