Hello from Portugal

[ScaryBuh]

Greetings everyone,

I'm from Portugal and
AntsCanada youtube got me interested in having my own ant colony.
Lucky me, it just happen to be nupcial flight of my local ant species.

I've been recording my catch lately:

I think they are Messor Barbarus, based on my location, the major workers have a redish head and are huge (almost size of the queen), and they are harvester type (carry seeds to nest).
