Re: A day as jimmy's ant
Now I don't know what kind of ants I have...it's kinda red where there legs meet there body's some are more define then others...if your reading this and can help identify these ants it would be greatly appreciated...like I said red legs and it also looks like there body is red or at least red where the legs meet the body, with black head and butt (sorry I don't know the scientific lingo).

Re: A day as jimmy's ant
sounds like a camponotus Novaboracensis ant.

But there is really no way to identify without pics and measurements.

Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.

Re: A day as jimmy's ant
I'm pretty sure the cheap ant nest I bought from wish killed my queen....it wasn't the gel cuz I cleaned that out...I noticed the water feeding area was leaking into the nesting area that's probably why she abandoned the nest and just hung around the out world....sad day...well good thing I found 4 more queens! There all in test tube setups and one of them already laid eggs!!!

Re: A day as jimmy's ant
Pretty sure I found two more queens but these arnt large ants these are small black ants I think there the little sugar ants...I'm pretty sure there queens one has wings and the other looks like it just lost there's.
I'm super excited I was really hoping to find little ants
Since I had a bad experience with that cheap ant farm I will spend the money and get a good nest for my camponotus I already have one picked out now I need to identify these little ones and shop for a habitat for them as well
