I did it

Ok I figured out how to do it on my phone. I can't do it from images in my gallery though, I don't get the option to open it in chrome like I do from images I get on Google.

Make an imagur post and do the same thing, dragging the picture(Or however you do it) to a new tab. Then just copy the link or the photo, not the imagur link, and push the image button.

I am unable to do it from imgur, I will need to find a new website.

It's very intimidating when trying to ID a exact species accurately when looking at a hyper diverse species like Camponotus or Pheidole.

Usually you never get the exact species. Most Camponotus have tons of subspecies that aren’t too well known about because it is a hair difference, nothing else.

Oh alright. Btw have you seen my post about the Cataulacus granulatus?

I just straight up give up on this image thing, everything I try fails, I just don't get why it is so hard to get a damm image URL.

Sounds difficult to ID her then

I ID’ed my ants on males they produced on accident. Once you see two species males, you can instantly tell the two queens species apart. You just start to recognize features that may slightly vary, but it gives you a pretty accurate estimate of what species you have.

Alright thanks, I also found what I believe to be a semi-caulostrial queen, not sure of the species or genus. Maybe Polyrhachis, because she has to spines, but I'm not sure of there are any species of Polyrhachis which are semi-caulostrial. I'll request an ID as soon as I get her into a test-tube.

Im pretty sure all Polyrhachis ants are semi-claustral and picky eaters, they only eat chicken and mealworms and a few special baby crickets like the ones AntsCanada showed in his video about his Polyrhachis ants. Your ant is probably a Polyrhachis ant but there are other species with spikes like Meranoplus bicolor, pls send me a photo and lots of info as i may identify if it's Polyrhachis. But i can tell that it's not Polyrhachis rastellata becuase they dont have spikes. I think Semi-claustral queens have small gasters and Polyrhachis queens have small gasters
