I went on a little nature walk today and watch this Pennsylvanicus pull on this wolf spiders web with his mandables to trick it into coming over to it, then he tried to grab the spider. I was surprised to see the spider fleeing in the opposite direction. At first I thought maybe the ant was stuck an...

I will say though that this looks spot on! Same proportion in size on the head and body shape and the worker also resembles perfectly from it looks to me! Also noticing now that the legs are slightly brown which I hadn’t really noticed before cause I couldn’t see it with the ***** eye on the worker...

Does anyone know if this is a type of cam...

Came across this helpful list “barriers for what species” Does anyone have any personal experience and application methods? One thing I’ve noticed: people always say “baby powder” but be careful purchasing some baby powder is cornstarch based and not pure talcum powder that we want. http://www.form...

This could be a shot in the dark but does anyone think it could be Formica Subsericea? For some reason I keep thinking this because of the little tiny node that points upward looks very similar https://www.antwiki.org/wiki/Formica_subsericea It is a Formica spp., Can tell by the way the thorax dips...
