Definitely a social parasite, looks a little like L. Umbratus but hard to tell with your pictures. For information on social parasites look here: http://www.formiculture.com/topic/3252-much-ado-about-the-founding-of-lasius-temporary-social-parasites/

Semi-claustral, also for questions like this please post in this section of the forum:http://forum.AntsCanada.com/viewforum.php?f=25

It took my queens over 2 weeks to move into a new test tube using this method, some still haven't moved and this is week 5. The secret is to just have a lot of patience.

If you don't mind, could you please post the location and day you caught them? Also measurements? As of right now I would say Messor Barbarus

Found this queen last Wednesday, guessing Formica. 10-11mm

Oh thank god, I thought it was only me. I'm surprised it isn't back up yet.

Same, that's why I made this post.

So I use both formiculture and the AC forums, and yesterday I noticed it said I can't connect to formiculture because "the server wasn't responding". So I was just curious if any of you guys are having the same issue.

odontomachus rixosus.

Don't make a suger water test tube! Someone had this idea and they said it somehow fermented and killed their queen. I can remember who posted it.

Also looks like formica. Side pictures?
