She moved instantly. She left just one egg which i didn't bother putting in the tt as she already has enough brood

Re: Another! My queen ant journal
I don't think she is Crematogaster.
Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?
There are so many fascinating ants right where you live!
I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that aren't in your area.

Re: Another! My queen ant journal
So is she tetramorium? Was my initial guess correct

Maybe, but better images would help a lot.

Re: Another! My queen ant journal
I think i might just wait till the nanitics arrive and id her then because i don't think i would get any better picture and i don't want to stress her too muchantperson24 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 10, 2023 10:13 amMaybe, but better images would help a lot.

Sounds good. I think you could assume Tetramorium.Antloverhuman wrote: ↑Sat Jun 10, 2023 10:31 amI think i might just wait till the nanitics arrive and id her then because i don't think i would get any better picture and i don't want to stress her too much

Haven't given an update as nothing interesting is happening. I think there might be some pupa. They don't have cocoons but they all look healthy and fine

Re: Another! My queen ant journal
I think it is more likely that she is Crematogaster, her gaster looks too big for meranoplus.SolenopsisKeeper wrote: ↑Fri Jun 02, 2023 12:14 amAlmost looks like Crematogaster or mernoplusAntloverhuman wrote: ↑Wed May 31, 2023 11:24 amMay 31, 2023
Checked on her a little and she has eggs! Gave her a slapped mosquito and will give her a wet cotton day after tomorrow

Here are some crappy photos. From estimate she's around 6-7 mm long (don't even have a scale here bruh)

Re: Another! My queen ant journal
She looks like Pheidole to me, could you get some more angles perhaps? She does not look like any Tetramorium I've ever seen.
