Re: Looking for a GAN farmer in Missouri
I have several Tetramorium queen ants with nanitics just starting to appear, and I live in the St. Louis area. Let me know if you're interested. I don't mind giving them away for free.

Re: Camponotus species identification
Just wanted to say that I'm convinced I have four Lasius umbratus queens. I was confused because I didn't think their nuptial flights were this early, but apparently there are Lasius umbratus dealates coming out of hibernation and wandering around.

Re: Camponotus species identification
I've gone over them. They're definitely all the same. Well, shucks. I guess I'll attempt to introduce some workers, but I doubt a novice like me will be able to get them to take.Mdrogun wrote:I could identify them for you.

Re: Camponotus species identification
I have a total of four queens now, and I suppose it's possible they aren't all of the same genus. How can I tell the difference?Mdrogun wrote:This is definitely a parasitic Lasius sp. of some sort.

Re: Camponotus species identification
Well based on the sizes of the thorax's I'd say yes they are queens. As far a species, I'm not sure. I'm new to other species besides solenopsis. Thank you very much. I was going to take a magnifying glass and try to determine the species myself, but I'm not sure I want to disturb them anymore than...

Camponotus species identification
Hello, everyone. I found what I think are three dealates in a heavily wooded park in the St. Louis area. Based on my rudimentary understanding of ants, I believe they belong to the genus Camponotus, but I have no idea how to figure out the species. In addition, since this is my first time looking fo...
