Re: Queen ID
Any clue what solenopsis it is?
Re: Queen ID

Re: Queen ID
From what I have read Lasius interjectus is a social parasite. Not sure what needs to be done to raise them. Anyone have experience with them?

im only guessing it is this species because it looks so similar to mine that were identified on facebook.
i have a few in test tubes being fed honey until i figure them out. hopefully we find someone who can give us some info.

Re: Queen ID
Found another queen tonight around the same light I found the other four at. This queen is huge, 18-20 mm. Has a brownish red head and yellow body. Will get pictures up tomorrow. Lost one of the last four quens I caught unfortunately.
Re: Queen ID
I will see if I can get better pictures tomorrow when I have more time.
