'several species' for dyk

Cwmhiraeth, could you add a citation to the sentence Species of ant that make gardens include Crematogaster carinata, Camponotus femoratus and Solenopsis parabioticus, all of which are parabiotic species which routinely share their nests with unrelated species of ant. for dyk? I think it's the sentence that best supports the hook. —valereee (talk) 20:27, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
