Im new to keeping ants and Ive caught my first queen! I just need some help identifying her. Ive taken a lot of pictures, hopefully some of them will be good. She would show me her face a lot because she was taking care of her brood. but I think I got some good body shots. I dont have a micro camera lens so this is the best I can do. She was caught on May 14th in Winter Park, Florida (Near Orlando) and already had her wings off. I found her on the sidewalk in a residential area, right by a grassy patch. Boy was she hard to catch! She doesnt seem very hostile, but was stressed when she first was caught. Since then she has calmed down and walks around and cares for her eggs attentively. She is about 5-6 mm long. She is mostly a dark brown/reddish in coloring.
I hope you can help me! Again Im sorry for the photos and if anyone has a way to get better quality pictures I am more than willing to take more for you guys.
Thank you!!
