[edit] Silvestral?

What does silvestral mean? Google and dictionary.com didn't turn up anything useful. Lupin 03:49, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

means that they live in trees, presumably. What else could it mean?! ;) --81.134.132.242 3 July 2005 19:51 (UTC)

[edit] rename?

per Naming Conventions, shouldn't this be Ants in the United Kingdom or something like that? Segv11 ^{(talk/contribs)} 07:17, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

I agree. Wynler 19:00, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

i agree too but only because the word british makes me cringe. Marge4 19:16, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

If a name change is necessary, I think "Ants of the British isles" would be more suitable. "United Kingdom" only refers to part of the British Isles; ant colonies obviously don't know or care where the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic is. --Krsont 11:21, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
