I'm trying to ID my trap-jaw queen. Thailand

[JaydenScheepers]

Alright so I am pretty certain this queen is either Odontomachus simillimus or Odontomachus yucatecus. However I am leaning towards O. simillimus, because they are more diverse in Thailand. My queen is about 11-12 mm in length and she's completely colored black.

It's probably O. simillimus, O. yucatecus doesn't live in Thailand (misidentification).

Oh I thought they did, but we're rare. Thanks for clarifying.

Could you share a picture? Would love to see that beauty.

There you go, I still don't have a macro lens so quality won't be the best, but I did what I could. She has a really big pile of eggs as you can see, and she's very caring. I love trap jaws so much, every time I remove the tinfoil she picks them up, puts them all they way in the back of the test tube, then she guards the entrance. I'd like to see some of your ant colonies as well, and also do you know a reliable and ant safe store in Southeast Asia? I would use AntsCanada, but the shipping unfortunately costs more than the entire order.

Love the pictures. She looks very nice.

About my antcolonies you can have a look on my Youtube Channel AntsLuxembourg. I don't upload frequently but I did some streams in the past.

I got a new Odontomachus dealate, I believe she belongs to the same species. My question is with the test tube, this one is pretty small; The diameter is 15 mm, and the length is 100 mm. The test tubes I usually have are 15 mm in diameter and about 150 mm in length. I put some nice substrate in for her, but I don't have a spare out world at the moment, so I'm curious on how I should feed her, because I think with the substrate waste can easily turn into mold. If it's needed I can get her an out world.

I don’t raise any of my queens with an outworld…

I just slip the Cotton off, and slip a termite or piece of food in with tweezers

Oh ok, seems simple enough.
