My son (8) found what we think is a queen. She is a small black ant. Found in San Jose, Ca on 7/25/17. She is about 6mm, and her workers are about 3mm. My son found a few queens with the colony, so I just want to make sure it's not a major worker. I tried to attach a file pic and it says that the board attachment quota has been reached. Is that due to file size?
Thanks!
