Ant idenfication.
Alright, so I decided that I'm going to make one topic about ant idenfication so I don't need to make several for every ant. Basically I will try to identify the species myself, then come here just to confirm it, or if I really can't find the species then to ask for assistance.

My first one is some rather cool looking ants, I believe they are Cerabera diversa (Marauder ants). The minor is about a millimeter in length and the major is about 3-4 mm, they don't sting, however they do have determination to take me down.

Maybe even pheidole, but honestly that is a guess as I am barely adjusted to anything outside florida(Or the americas)JaydenScheepers wrote: ↑Sat Aug 27, 2022 7:58 pmAlright, so I decided that I'm going to make one topic about ant idenfication so I don't need to make several for every ant.

Re: Ant idenfication.
Pheidole dont have stingers as far as i am aware. I let them crawl all over me and they act real heroic biting me and acting like they can actually break the skinJaydenScheepers wrote: ↑Mon Aug 29, 2022 12:33 amDon't all Pheidole sting?
