Hi, I'm new to ant keeping. If anyone can help to identify this ant queen, it would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if there is anything else that's needed. Thanks.

Best,
Jacob

This queen was caught on 2018-7-29 and I live in Lafayette, Indiana. I forgot to add that.

We need pictures too; upload them to a hosting site like Flickr. Also, try not to create multiple threads of the same ID.
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.

Hi Batspiderfish. Sorry, I tried to simply drop the images into the body of the post. Apparently that didn't work. I will add links to the three images on flickr. Also, my other post is for another queen that I caught on a separate date. If it is better to post them both to one thread, I can do that from now on.

Formica probably from the Pallidefulva group.
An ants' strength can be rivaled by few animals compared to relative body size.
