Reverted Image edit

I reverted one edit by User:CarolSpears. S/he is now a banned user and many of her edits are suspicious or odd. Especially, her/his choice of the "ants on wood" image. --UnneededAplomb (talk) 21:22, 5 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

New Edit edit

I added information on the ants social aspects supported by citations. I also added some information about the size of the ants and their habitat in relation to humans. --Luxembourg96 (talk) 07:41, 26 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

I implore whoever first wrote this article, and anyone who's worked on it since, to please add verifiable sources; the information is well-written and seems sound, but it's of little use to the people who read it without citations. Seijihyouronka (talk) 08:09, 2 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

I agree that the content is well-written, but most of this content really belongs on the Formica_rufa_species_group page, because it is specific to wood ants, rather than here on the Formica page. The genus Formica is much broader than just wood ants. This page needs a substantial overhaul. Instead of detailed but unbalanced content on one part or a few parts of the Formica genus, this page should give an overview of the main subgroups within the Formica genus, directing the reader to their pages to learn more detail.
