90% sure solenopsis Invicta
I’m 90% sure invicta and gem are both incorrect

I have to go with S Aurea or xyloni here

It could also be S richerti invicta hybrid. Just stick with S geminata group

I would argue that it is a myrmicinae and not an Attini. Looks more like solenopsis to me ngl

Re: Please help ID these queens

I'm pretty sure they are queens, they have quite a large gaster. They are not Irodomyrmex Bicknelli as the heads on these queens are larger, however roughly the sa...

But I noticed that she hardly ever laid eggs and that the first larva took almost 2 months to become pupa. And, to my dismay, just over a week after it had ...
