Subfamily: Myrmicinae
Distribution: Eastern Asia

It's interesting to note that one species is introduced into America. Vollenhovia emeryi was likely introduced with some 3000 or more cherry trees donated by the Japanese. I believe these trees were planted in Washington D.C., Pennsylvanian, and some places in New York.

For some reason this is also on the list of North American Ant Genera, Anyone know where it occurs.

I chose this to be the new Featured Genus in a vane attempt to tie in the holiday spirit. They are also know as The Yellow Crazy Ant which also form super colonies.

I'm surprised this genus is listed as one that occurs in North America. Though I don't think they occur in America. These look similar to Pheidole in many ways but have some feeds@yuku.com (MrILoveTheAnts) http://antfarm.yuku.com/topic/2359 Tue, 04 Sep 2007 11:51:43 GMT
