Probably the most noteworthy discovery in this survey was the leaf-litter ant (genus Stenamma). About 85 species are known from cool, moist, forested regions of northern continents and neotropical regions. The small colonies of these subterannean ants are seldom encountered because they live in leaf litter, soil, and rotting wood. Finding them requires collecting techniques, such as pitfall traps and sifting through leaf litter. I never would have expected one in our local coastal sage scrub, especially in a burned area!   Leaf-Litter Ant #1    Leaf-Litter Ant #2
