Hey everyone. Chris from Long Island, NY again. I caught 8 queens 2.5 weeks ago in dix hills NY at a park. They were having a nuptial flight and I caught it at the tail end while all the queens were going to find a place to hide. I was convinced they were tetramorium at first but now I'm not so sur...

They are pretty.

Hey everyone. So I caught 2 queens that look almost identical to two others I currently have small colonies of. But, I thought these were parasitic ants.

Hey everyone. So about 3 weeks ago i was at a local park doing some queen ant collecting and i found a TON of tetramorium immigrans queens that were looking for a place to nest shortly after a nuptial flight. Nothing but wings and dead male elates around the area. I collected 8 of them, and left the...
