Another Queen Ant Identification
Hi fellow ant keepers, hope you all are doing well.
So today I caught another queen ant in my apartment. Not sure what specie is that so help me out on this one too.
Sorry for the bad picture quality once again but i don't have a proper camera setup for high resolution pictures.
Thanks and Regards.
What I can tell you guys is this queen is twice the size of the first one I caught and it is very active as well as compared to the first one. I've also posted the pics of my previous queen on this post. http://forum.AntsCanada.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4204

Re: Another Queen Ant Identification
I'm tempted to say Tetramorium, but I don't know for sure. Usually when I see tetramorium I instantly am 100 percent sure, but I'm not right now.So, I'd say pheidole of some sort.AqdasHassaan wrote: ↑Sun Aug 06, 2017 9:46 amHi fellow ant keepers, hope you all are doing well.

Proverbs 6:6-8
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.
Keeping Tetramorium immigrans, Tapinoma Sessile

Re: Another Queen Ant Identification
Better lighting (or a darker background) and a measurement would help.
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.

Re: Another Queen Ant Identification
hi who would know if thsi is a queen ant it has a pointed abdomen and very small antenna
Re: Another Queen Ant Identification
This is queen without a doubt you can almost actually tell the difference between a male and a female by looking at their body shape and over all the size differences. small antennas or pointed abdomen has nothing to do with it.PlatinumStars wrote: ↑Tue Aug 08, 2017 10:37 amhi who would know if thsi is a queen ant it has a pointed abdomen and very small antenna
