Looks like Solenopsis Invicta

Just don’t use sugar water for the actual test tube founding with the queen. It can cause fatal problems there - Mikey Bustos talks about this in a video. You could probably use sugar water for a large colony with another water source.

Looks like Formica fusca

This does look like Tetramorium, perhaps Immigrans, even though it’s exotic in your region. Never use sugar water, it can result in some serious problems with your Queen.

This is not a queen, looks like some sort of wasp. Sorry

Please add pictures from a third party site.

Hi. I have been hibernating my brachymyrmex depilis for a month in a fridge. I’ve heard that they only hibernate for a short time. I was wondering if I could pull her at a month and a half and she would start laying eggs. Or will she have not hibernated for long enough?
