The second queen is a Lasius neoniger queen The third long queen with a striped gaster loos like Brachymyrmex depilis to me. The last ...

I found 2 of these little 4-5 mm reddish-brown ants under a rock, they were sitting only inches from a large colony of yellow-brown ants that were closer to 3.5mm in size, and had very pointed gasters, so I'm convinced my 2 catches are unrelated, but possibly are of a parasitic species. These 2 lit...

that's a manica rubida queen here's a pic of mine https://i.imgur.com/qBTq6Shl.jpg In my opionion she looks more like a Pogonomyrmex queen.

The Queen in the test tube is about 10-15mm, if you need a better photo, I can get one but I didn't want to disturb her much. The other queen is smaller at about 6-7...

Well... yes, I do live in the Netherlands for 16 years now, but I'm actually Polish
Hallo!

Upon closer inspection you were absolutely correct about the super tiny ones. Consider me thoroughly impressed! Haha, thanks! Peheidole queens have big square heads and a very characteristic wide petiole between the thorax and the gaster. All of the workers have small rounded gasters attached to th...

I have a number of these suuuper cute ants here but I can't seem to positively identify them. One I know only as a "sugar ant" and the other I previously thought was a raspberry crazy ant but it looks too small to be right. Here are some pics: https://imgur.com/a/atA3QMZ Only one pic of the "raspbe...
