Re: NEED ID unknown queen ant species!!! Found in Perth, Australia
I did some research by myself and I'm thinking it's an Ochetellus/Iridomyrmex Glaber. Please do some research and tell me what you think!

Oops when I first saw the first picture it looked like it had a curled abdomen thats were I went wrong. I would now say it is iridomyrmex bicknelli.

Actually for a fact she actually does have a curled abdomen with a hook thats an orangey colour at the end. Oh and btw, im keeping multiple iridomyemex bicknelli and i know for a fact that they arent the same. This queen is much bigger with a bigger head and a more elongated adomen. Also this one is much darker and more matte colour. Thanks for the timw though!*** SPAM *** wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 1:58 amOops when I first saw the first picture it looked like it had a curled abdomen thats were I went wrong.
