Spp means species. Formica spp means all species in the genus Formica. And if you really need help identifying a queen, ask Batspiderfish. He is probably the most experienced member on this forum.Handro421 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 03, 2018 3:22 pmhi this is my first post and i am a begginer.

sp. means "species"; Formica sp. means "a species of Formica".
spp. means "species pluralis"; Formica spp. means "multiple different species of Formica".
