In the morning, I saw many male ants looking for their mate until I found the queen ant and caught the queen ant (that was 3 days ago). It's very big. The size is 20 mm and she already laid eggs after 3 days.

Re: Giant Queen Ant Nuptial Flight And Need ID
Geez! Nice catch, was thinking Camponotus based on description but not with two petiole segments! Maybe Asian marauder ant queen? I do believe the size is correct, and it has similar physical features.Joshua09 wrote: ↑Mon May 23, 2022 6:01 pmIn the morning, I saw many male ants looking for their mate until I found the queen ant and caught the queen ant (that was 3 days ago).
