Re: queen ant id, please
I think most Brachymyrmex are polygynous, although don't go mixing established colonies.

Yes, just leave her alone in a suitable enclosure for as long as she needs.

Re: Need Help identifying my Ant
Post an ID request in the designated section. We'll need measurements (in millimeters), location (to at least the state/province, or alternatively major city), and clear pictures of the ant, The best way to take these would be one of the front, side, and top of the ant.

Re: Getting ants to move out of a bucket
I disagree there. Ants will often act this way when stressed, not necessarily because of a lack of their queen.AntsOnTheCoast wrote: ↑Tue Jul 25, 2017 4:30 pm
Honestly, if the workers seem restless and they have enough resources, it probably means they are looking for their queen.

Re: To many Queens?
Releasing your queens is basically a death sentence. If they have already found a place to nest, laid eggs, and have larvae, the chances of their survival are slim.

Re: Ants as pollinators
There are some, but not many, plants that rely on ants to disperse seeds. In the eastern US, one of the more common ones is a wildflower called bloodroot.

Re: Getting ants to move out of a bucket
These are Aphaenogaster, by the way.
Provide better living conditions or move the wood from the bucket into a formicarium's outworld.
