Hello!
I know it is not a queen, but I really would like to know this ant’s species since the nest is rather big, therefore, it might be capable of producing alates (and you know what that would mean :] )
The ant is anywhere near 9mm to 8mm in length, the head is 2mm in length, the gaster is approx. 2.5mm in length and the thorax is 4mm in length
It has several “hairs” around all the body
It is not a major, all the ants on the nest were the same to this one
The entrance of the nest was found between two cement “tiles” on the floor
Images will be posted later, sorry for the poor definition, iPads are not good at taking photos of close up, small, moving objects

Re: Identifying this ant’s species
Oh, hallo again!
Now I know that the ant is of the species Pogonomyrmex, although help to indentify specifically what variety would be very helpful
Also as a note, I thought the ant was not a major, but apparently it is a major (from fotographs I have seen)
Although it is odd because absolutely all the ants I have ever seen from that nest are apparently majors too
But anyways
Does anyone know the nuptial flights for pogonomyrmex?
