Hi all, So, I'm having a slight issue with my young Camponotus Noveborecensis queens. I currently have 2 and both are having various problems. The first has 3 workers and a small amount of brood (3-5) larvae. She refuses to live in her test tube and instead is living in her small homade connected ou...

Thank you Batspiderfish. Do you have any resources for this (non-wiki, scholary papers, etc.)? I'm trying to find anything can be helpful in putting together my identification guide. So far, I've built a list of North American genera and the next step is to narrow down to as many North American spe...

Lasius aphidicolus and Lasius umbratus are virtually identical and only differentiated through genetic testing. However, this test went to show that Lasius umbratus does not actually exist in North America. We named the new species Lasius aphidicolus , which means "fuzzy ant that farms aphids". Reg...

good info.. and thanks. honestly i have a hard time discerning the species. im going to try to collect some workers and brood from around where i found her and see if that helps. she was id as Lasius aphidicolus I know the feeling. I find there is always 2 or 3 species that are so close that it's h...

Did you feed just honey..or also protein? Primarily honey. I have placed a fruit fly and recently killed termite in there before but I've never seen any evidence that she attempted to feed on them. She definitely actively pursues the honey though. Also, the guide goes a lot into which parasite quee...

Hi all, So, I've had a suspicion of something since last year and that is that parasitic queens are semi-claustral. Now, I tried research this and turns out nobody really seems to know this. My theory comes from this. Since summer of last year, I've caught 9 parasitic queens. Them being a variety of...

Hey AC family. I love tiny species. Well, really, just unique and difficult species but that's another post. Anyway, I currently have a 3 queen Phiedole Bicarinata colony in founding stage and a 7+ queen Solenopsis molesta colony with possibly hundreds of workers I caught from a dead tree. Aside fro...

Nice! Really cool idea. You should add some decorations. Grout is a really good base and you can layer over it with some sand and put some aquarium plants in it.

You should post the photos to a photo website like imgur or photobucket and share them here.

Here is the imgur album, also she is about 8/9mm long.

I agree with Batspiderfish, looks like Lasius.

Yep it is a tetramorium and do you know how I can trade a tetramorium queen

I don't. Our trade was arranged through the AntsCanada GAN. You could check there to see if there are any GAN farmers for your country and try trading through them.
