Hi,
I recently caught some ants and about 5 queens (at least what I think are queens) when they all evacuated a century plant (American agave) that I was removing from my yard.
The colony was masssive and I just kinda took a palm and let them fall Into a large glass jar. Anyways they are very small and sort of black/brownish and do not seem to bite. I put them in a fortress formarcarium I got from Tar Heel ants.
I have tried different sweet syrups or juices that they seem to eat when outside but I can’t seem to get them to eat at all in the captive. I’ll attach some photos.
What species?

Re: What species?
WHAT! they just queen brood and all walked into your setup! That's like the best luck i've ever heard of! about the sugar thing. i depends on how big the colony is for how much sugar they consume. they might be eating but it but it might be hard to notice.
