This ant is sucking nectar from a peony.
Can anyone ID what species this is?
photographed in mid June in southeastern Sweden, in forest area close to lake.
I have several other photos of this ant from other angles if needed.

I would say this was a Lasius species - not easy to ID from photos.

Lasius ants can be found on nearly every bud there, they attack every newcomer
