ID requests should go in the identification center:

Please review the rules for ID requests, particularly make sure that you include a measurement in millimeters.

Re: Pictures of a nuptial queen possibly, found her last night.
You use a measuring tool (i.e. a ruler, with centimeters and 1/10 cm millimeter markers.) Please no pennies.
I can tell that she is another Lasius social parasite queen, possibly Lasius claviger.

Ok I'll try. Hard to keep still, and they're in the enclosure now. I might not be able to measure the queens.Batspiderfish wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2017 2:42 pmYou use a measuring tool (i.e. a ruler, with centimeters and 1/10 cm millimeter markers.) Please no pennies.

What do you think about this species and are their any specialty things they might need above other regular ants. Being a parasite species?Batspiderfish wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2017 2:42 pmYou use a measuring tool (i.e. a ruler, with centimeters and 1/10 cm millimeter markers.) Please no pennies.

They need a host colony of Lasius, if you didn't already know that, and that Lasius Claviger group parasites are notoriously difficult to raise as queens seem to die for no reason as soon as things start going even reasonably wellPRW3ants wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2017 10:44 pmWhat do you think about this species and are their any specialty things they might need above other regular ants.
