To elaborate further on this: Q1 used to be the dominant female or so it appeared and would snip at Q2 here and but nothing really came out of it. But ever since Q2 laid a batch of eggs first, aggression levels between Q1 and Q2 skyrocketed within the last 36 hrs which made Q1 hide in their outworld...

So I have a dilemma. I had 2 Myrmica sp. queens together in a test tube connected to an outworld setup. After one of them began laying eggs, they’ve both been fighting with each other, like full blown wrestling and dragging each other around kind of fighting. After I saw this, I ended up separating ...

So with the help of an ant keeping discord, I was able to narrow down what my 3 queens were. I have 1 Lasius latipes/murphyi/brevicornis (not sure which, just narrowed it down) and 2 Myrmica rubra/stenamma/myrmecina (same as the first.) I live in Minot, North Dakota and caught them 1 week ago. I fo...

I appreciate the advice. I was just trying to get everything into one post, I guess, haha. My pictures tend to be blurry that's why I used video but I'll try to clean it up and get better pictures for it.

Have you tried taking pictures of the queens and posting them along with measurements and your location in the species identification thread? Might be able to get an exact species name.

I have, no one really responded to it, though.

Thanks for the reply Clash! I should probably add a link to the queens, too lol. If my Lasius is fully Clastrual that would be awesome! But I'm actually not, too sure, although she is the same color as Brevicornis and the Latipes/Murphyi I've seen doesn't match her color. https://www.youtube.com/wat...
