Re: I need help in finding a queen ant

before 2 years I had found a undefined queen with wings in my door but it turns out it was not fertilized and she died later... After this I have never seen a ant queen in my house or near my house but I keep looking often (perhaps the landlord used chemichals to kill the ants in the building :( ).T...

Re: I need help in finding a queen ant

Hello again, today I bought 8 test tubes and went for a long walk to search for any queen ants and nests, I went to a forest/park that I had catch queens in the past and knew that it had Camponotus and Pheidole sp and perhaps even more species but I was shocked to find that almost no ants left there...

Re: I need help in finding a queen ant

Oh ok, I will wait for a rain then, I hope it will come soon!
in the meantime I will try to search some more ant nests in my area and I will try to memorize their location so after a rain I will go and check the area around the nests

Re: I found ant colonies and I need help to identify them

Just because you find queens near an ant nest doesn't mean they're the same species. For example, a Camponotus queen could land near the nest of Lasius. That doesn't mean that it is Lasius, it just means it landed near Lasius. The queens I have are the same with the queens in the video and the work...

Re: I found ant colonies and I need help to identify them

The queens are Pheidole sp. If you have read up on Pheidole, you will know that they have impressive super majors, large workers with large heads used for colony defense, lifting heavy objects, and slicing food with their muscle packed heads. Camponotus also have super majors. Thanks for the answer...
