The AntsCanada Ant Forum's

I was on my way home when I saw a bunch of black ants in between the sidewalk. I got a closer look and there were red spots, and realized it was young red ants! It looked like the black ants were pulling dead red ants from their nest. Does anyone know what happened?

I will never understand how you guys determine that based off four lousy pictures I gave lol

Wow your good, thanks for taking the time out of your day to figuring this out.

Some things I have noticed ----------------------------------- They dont have a good grip on stuff (Fall off hands, bowls, anything. They dont bite or sting, when you put one on your hand they will just run. Which brings us to their speed, they run very quickly. When caught, they tend to clean thems...

Another two pics of a close up. Kinda blurry, sorry

If anyone has any clue what this species could be, any attempt would be appreciated. And I think this thread is in the ID center, is it not?

It's not P. longicornis, I'll figure it out tomorrow probably.

Also, this should've been posted in the Ant ID center.

Thanks, and I tried finding it but didnt know where it was

Woops sorry that was inches, in mm it would be 4.5 mm This is for sure this time

This is the ant next to a dime. Dont know if that will help :/
