You can't see the photos, try using the image address.
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.

She is not a Messor queen, but I don't know what she is, sorry. But I am sure someone else will know.
