READ BEFORE POSTING === Ant ID Form / Template ===

Hello everyone and welcome to this part of the AC Forum.

Please use the following form / template to create your Ant Queen ID topic. These information will provide important Information to help us to identify your ant queen as fast and as accurate as possible.

This is the template:

Size: <Please put the size in mm>
When: <Please put a timestamp on you found her. Time of the day and a date>
Where: <Please put your location at that time and specify the type of area (Forest, Park, Small Village/Town/City, etc.)>
Appearance: <Please try to describe the appearance in case your pictures cannot properly pick up those details>
Behaviour: <Please mention how she behaves after being put inside a testtube setup for more about 20-30 Minutes>
Picture(s):
<Please add pictures via an imgur.com link or as [ img][ /img]>
Additionally: <Please add anything that you think is important to mention>


Example:
The topic this example is based on: https://forum.AntsCanada.com/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=10606

Size: 8-9mm
When: 28/07/2018 10:00
Where: Niederfeulen/Luxembourg - Small Village
Appearance: Her gaster has a brown grid pattern. The legs and antennae are a similar/the same bright brown colour as the pattern.
Behaviour: She was very calm all the time. At first she just ran over my hand but when I reached my appartment she was waiting patiently for me to put her into a bottel and then into a testtube.
She is currently carfully cleaning herself and it looks like she is cleaning her gaster with her mouth now.

Small explanation:

In order to user [ img][/img], the link in between MUST lead to a file ending on an image file extention.
For Example: .jpg, .png, .gif, .bmp

If the file is not working, consider using [ URL2][ /URL2] instead. It will turn your link into a clickable link which makes it easier for everyone to have a look.

Please remember to remove the space inside of [ img] and [ URL2] or use the buttons on the top.

Recommendations:

For Pictures we recommend using imgur.com. It's an easy drag and drop page with no need for a User Account.
Google Drive works too but only if the pictures are properly shared.

Disclaimer:
  • This form / template is not to force you to give you more work. It's merely a guide to help everyone with giving you a correct Ant ID and to increase the chances of it being correct. Plus it gives some basic structure.
  • You don't have to mention that the location (where) is your home address or anything. A rough location is good enough.
Side Note:

This topic is open for feedback and as such I would like to ask you to only reply with feedback and create your own topic for Ant identifications. :)
Also feel free to check out the previous topic on how to post your Ant ID Request.

Update 10/01/2024:
Since there haven't been any suggestions for improvement, I will lock the topic to avoid people posting here. Please create your own topic and use the form / template above.
Doing some proper research is the best way to start an antcolony.

Why don't people follow this? I have seen posts where there is just a link and written "tell me fast" and they don't even come back when you ask them more

Cleaned up the topic and moved the unrelated posts to their own topic.
