Abstract
The expansion process of the invasive garden ant Lasius neglectus in Europe and Asia is described in terms of a local expansion through colony growing measured on four supercolonies Seva Debrecen Buda Castle and Budatétény from two distant and climatically different countries Spain Hungary and b regional expansion using data from all published and several new nonnative localities Short local distance processes few meters to 89 m year1 as colony budding are two to five orders of magnitude smaller than long regional distances ten km to 1000 km This suggests direct human intervention in the invasive spread The regional trend also shows that the invasive garden ant has been quickly and steadily increasing the number of non native localities 77 and countries 14 it has reached during the last 30 years
