Nylanderia wojciki

Nests are common in grass tussocks in scrub habitats in central Florida. They are typically found in sandy soil and leaf litter in flatwoods dominated by pine and palm. They can also be found in forests and under rocks in the southern U.S. where Nylanderia faisonensis is less common (Trager, 1984). Reproductives fly in early spring and have a similar flight pattern as other Nearctic Nylanderia (Trager, 1984). An undescribed socially parasitic Nylanderia species (n. sp. 3) is known to parasitize N. wojciki populations in Florida (Cover et al., in prep). Its known distribution is limited to states bordering the Gulf of Mexico and some of their neighbors (Kallal & LaPolla, 2012).
