The University of Massachusetts Extension Turf Program needs help locating specimen for one of its projects. A stinging ant (Myrmica rubra) has been spreading through parts of New England for about 10 years. Dr. Pat Vittum, turf entomologist at UMass, needs specimen to pinpoint the distribution of these ants in Massachusetts.
