| Summary | Formica forsslundi is a rare and little known north-European stenotopic species connected with bogs, and a temporary social parasite of Formica candida. In Poland it is known from the only relict locality, Rakowskie Bagno, a forest raised bog in the region of Roztocze. It is recommended that this area should be given protection as a nature reserve to prevent its possible drainage and overgrowing, which would be fatal for both F. forsslundi and its host. | |
