And dont know if you could tell but the abdomen (back of the ant) have strips of dark and strips of lighter color

Oh, I wouldn't know how to get their measurements. I'm only used to inches and they are a lot smaller than an inch lol

I found these ants outside my house and I was wondering is anyone would be able to help me figure out what species they are. I'll be posting two pictures and a video after this post.

When you catch a queen just shine a light using a lamp or something but not too close or direct. Just so it can keep them warm.

Also same with Mowteam, contact me as well is selling pavement ants (tetrimarium SP) or anything thats suited for beginners.

The ant colony outside my house has widen their entrance! Those in the Phoenix area should be on the look out. Nuptial flight is about to begin!
