If these queens suceed, they will be my first colony sort of, i have a P. rastellata 'colony' but i dont really count that, because she has little brood and 1 worker, planing on letting her go.

Re: Pls ID these 3 queen ants
Number 1 is definitely Camponotus, not sure on the species but black body and red head strongly reminds me of Camponotus singularis which I heard is huge. I'll do research and try to find the species.Polyrhachiskeeper wrote: ↑Mon Aug 29, 2022 2:21 amYay! I got Pheidole! Wow, crematogaster too?

Re: Pls ID these 3 queen ants
It's not C. singularis, the head is extremely dark red. If you look at it from outside the test tube, you don't even see the red head.SYUTEO wrote: ↑Mon Aug 29, 2022 6:51 amNumber 1 is definitely Camponotus, not sure on the species but black body and red head strongly reminds me of Camponotus singularis which I heard is huge.

Re: Pls ID these 3 queen ants
btw, are crematogaster queens fully claustral? I think they are because they have quite big gasters. What does 'cremato' in 'crematogaster' mean? I was thinking if 'cremato' is acrobat or lift in latin or something and 'gaster' part is of course the gaster of the ant.

I know, I just thought they reminded me of them. They could possibly be C. angusticollis but not very certain on this id.Polyrhachiskeeper wrote: ↑Wed Aug 31, 2022 2:04 amIt's not C. singularis, the head is extremely dark red.

I don't think it's C. angusticollis.

Re: Pls ID these 3 queen ants
sad new about the pheidole ant, she is unfertilized. Her eggs are scattered
I caught an unknown ant yesterday, she was 100% fertilized, she landed on somebody and when i caught her she got just 1 wing. Then she removed her remaining wing. Sad news, she died. She began acting slower and slower and then she couldn't walk. I caught her round 5pm or so, next morning she died. She didnt even curl up or cross her legs. Which i see most ants do when they die

Re: Pls ID these 3 queen ants
Looks like abdomen is dark red too, from careful inspection. I gave her some honey and she now has a giant gaster with stripes. Maybe this is undiscovered species!? I found her in a very very very very very very remote area where there are just small little towns and jungle.Polyrhachiskeeper wrote: ↑Thu Sep 01, 2022 1:08 amI don't think it's C. angusticollis.
