Hi, it’s been a while since I’ve used this forum, like 7 months, but now I’m back! I found this queen in Jasper Indiana, and I think it is a tapinoma sessile. She is about 3 mm long.Image Image
Camponotus subbarbatus x3
Temnothorax curvispinosus x1 :shock: :D
Aphenogaster fulva x1
Camponotus sp.
Termite pair

What happened to all your ants?
Keeping:
Tetramorium immigrans * Lasius Neoniger * Lasius Claviger * Messor Aciculatus * Myrmica Rubra * Camponotus Novaeboracensis * Camponotus Turkastanus * Pheidole Pallidula

Last year, I was keeping them outside because my parents didn’t want them inside (I’m hoping this year is different), and the wind picked up the container I had them in during a storm and shattered all of the test tubes. :? Currently, I’m hiding them inside, they’ll never find out :lol:

I agree with Tapinoma Sessile.
An ants' strength can be rivaled by few animals compared to relative body size.
