This list of ant species in the Arboretum was developed by Tim Linksvayer ’98, a biology student with a deep interest in insects, especially ants. This list is not routinely curated, and the taxonomy may be out of date. Additionally, some species may no longer be found in the Arboretum, and other species may have taken up residence!
