What queen ants did I catch
My mother was removing a plant that had an ant colony within it's roots and I searched through the rubble of the plant. What I found was surprising, I found 4 queens within the colony. When I put these queens within the test tube setup I noticed that these queens had already laid eggs within a hour. But the thing was I didn't know what type of queens these were and how to care for them. I already know the basics for caring for the common queen ant but what species do I have here? Also is there anything special I should do to care for this species?
Thanks -Perry

Re: What queen ants did I catch
Hey perry! Welcome to the forum!
I am not sure about this queen, but she kinda looks like Lasius niger to me. I say that because she looks like she is a Lasius ant and she looks too dark to be neoniger. I hope you can get a confirmation!
