Yeah.... but There are a lot more species that are black small and glossy....I always wait for pics before making guesses. Beginners will often try to do research on their own and make a false identification. But it's fine ot help them narrow down I guessPTasker15 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 01, 2017 1:02 pmHe Describe's Them As Being "Black,Small,And Glossy"idahoantgirl wrote: ↑Wed Nov 01, 2017 9:52 amThere is absolutely positively no way you can narrow it down that far without pics.
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.
