Black Garden Ant Seen During Europe's Annual Flying Ant Season In Lisbon

A black garden ant (Lasius niger) is seen on a window in Lisbon, Portugal, on July 18, 2026. Lasius niger is one of Europe's most widespread ant species and is commonly observed during the summer months, when warmer temperatures increase ant activity and coincide with the annual flying ant season, during which reproductive ants emerge for nuptial flights.
