Hey everyone. Chris here from long Island NY. I found a queen today that I thought was an Asian needle ant, but after looking at her up close through the camera, I am not sure anymore. She's 5mm long, and was found under a very large decaying log. Any ID would be great. Thank you. Here's the link to the pics:

Re: Needle ant????
I think it's highly likely it's ponera, hyponera, pseudponera etc... but I'm not sure. Both options would be hard to care for wish you luck

Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?
There are so many fascinating ants right where you live!
I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that aren't in your area.
