Really cool ant ID
https://photos.app.goo.gl/VG31PQcBncQXR56x5
I'm at my grandma's home and there are alot of ants here but these were really intriguing to me. They have really big major but they aren't campo. The most confusing thing is that they have one petiole node meaning they are formicinae and I've no clue about any formicinae which is this small and have majors.
Size: workers- around 3mm
Major- around 5mm
Are fast and get scared easily.
Also i will post some more photos of different ants i find here. there is another ant with majors but i couldn't get good photos

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.

I don't think I'll get better photos than this (unless i kill one worker, bring it home and take a macro shot of it)
Also i think they have two petiole nodes and i was being dumb before

Re: Really cool ant ID
I would argue that it is a myrmicinae and not an Attini. Looks more like solenopsis to me ngl
