Bionomic
Notes.
Adults were collected from the nests of a black

derside of the boards on subsequent days. Adults of this species or
A. formicina
would often be found resting on the underside of the boards. Interestingly,
A. inquilina
was rarely found in
Formica
nests together with
A. formicina
. Adults were collected during April, May and September. Th is species probably overwinters in the adult stage. Collection method: sifting top layer of a nest, examining underside of boards placed on a nest.
