Re: Queen ID
I am thinking the last queen I posted may be Camponotus castaneous maybe? Hoping that is what it is because carpenter ants are really what I want .

Re: Queen ID
Does it have to be a specific species? And how difficult would it be to imitate that in captivity?

Re: Hello from Tennessee
I'm in alabama and found 12 queen fire ants around my driveway in the past two days. Very easy to find here.

Re: Queen ID
From what I have read Lasius interjectus is a social parasite. Not sure what needs to be done to raise them. Anyone have experience with them?

Re: Ready for the nuptial flights!
Posted this again in ant Id forum, have a slightly better picture on there as well. Not very good at taking ant photos unfortunately.

Re: Queen ID
Also would like to know species if anyone can tell, it was suggested that it may be a Lasius.
