Formica incerta

''Formica incerta'' is a species of ant found in eastern North America. It is the most common species of ''Formica'' in many areas and excavates underground nests with small entrance holes. Its diet includes nectar produced by extrafloral nectaries and honeydew which it obtains from aphids and treehoppers. It is the main host for the slave-making ant ''Polyergus lucidus''. ''Formica incerta'' was first described by the Italian entomologist Carlo Emery in 1893. Its specific name comes from the Latin ''incertus'' meaning "uncertain" and seems particularly apt given the subsequent uncertainty as to the validity of the species and the difficulty in distinguishing this ant from other species living in the same area.〔
==Description==

A worker of ''Formica incerta'' is very similar in appearance to ''Formica pallidefulva'' but the former has a few chaetae on the mesosoma and around the petiole while the latter does not. ''F. incerta'' is a slightly paler colour and less glossy than ''F. pallidefulva'' but there is considerable variability between specimens and between colonies.〔 The queen is larger than the workers and can be distinguished from queens of other species by three dark spots on the thorax.〔
