Hello, me again, anyways, its been a while since I posted something here, but, I really need help right now. Yesterday I was seeking my queen, I hadn't seen her in a lot of time; After 30 minutes of searching I found an ant ball, and there she was, in the center of the ball, but I really wanted to ...

What species? Some will do this because they are ok with light, or the humidity is too high/low, temperature too high etc They are Solenopsis Invicta, and I think the humidity is ok, I mean, yesterday they were in the queen chamber and I don't think it could dry so fast, the temperature is average ...

Yesterday I finally move my ants to their new ant nest, but, there were some major porblems after moving them; 1.-Some ants were dying very fast (But I think I solve it) 2.- Now, they're moving to the wrong side of the nest :/ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UyufscC_qbh8sYbpiSJ1T4xrb-7nyos2/view?u...

I don't think they can be drenched in sand, here where I live the ground gets very hard and the only places where there is sand are on the beaches.It also doesn't look very dirty If they were drench in sand, i...

Well, I think that if they are cleaned, sometimes I see them made into a small ball like biting part of the gaster That is great!! This is like ...

I usually see if queen alates can or cannot fly to determine they are mated or not, but I just found out it's not always the case. Queen alates that can still fly can still have a chance to be mated and found a colony and vice versa. The truth is, there is no absolute way to determine if your queen...

Out of experience there is a few possibility’s that could happen 1) They are southern fire ants, which are usually not polygynoes and the workers will eliminate all queens until one remains(S. Invicta will have back markings) 2) they will peacefully raise their brood and then kill each other 3)The ...
