Re: Ant Species Identification
It looks like a yellow crazy ant queen, I am not sure on this at all because they are not here and I have not done any research.
Why don’t more people like ants?
Is anyone from Wyoming who wants to sell ants?
You can email me about ants at Tucker.reynolds13@gmail.com

They look like Solenopsis molesta or some other thief ant Solenopsis species.

Re: Ant Species Identification
I did a bit of research an they are deferentially Solenopsis molesta, thank you for helping me figure out what queen I have and I look forward to raising the colony if she doesn't drown herself first.
