What is this tiny queen ant???
Hi there, I'm an ant keeping newbie who loves biology.
I caught this ant in Australia, but I don't know what species it is. Can someone please help?
Here is a photo, if you need me to change it, please let me know:

Re: What is this tiny queen ant???
how big is she, a close up side angle and which state/territory you found her in would help. If i were to guess i would say tetramorium sp.

Thanks for your help, I will try get another shot of her. She was caught in Victoria.

Here is another photo of the queen ant. It is a bit blurry, so I will find more photos soon.

Here is one more picture of her:

She is roughly 6 or 7 mm long, although I can't quite be sure.
Thanks again for your help

Looks like Solenopsis or Tetramorium to me

I have looked around on the internet, and I think it is Tetramorium. I hope that if it does turn out to be a Fire Ant, it doesn't get out of control.Good2Know15 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 22, 2020 8:32 amLooks like Solenopsis or Tetramorium to me
