What type of ant is this?

[i2chip]

I found her crawling around in my backyard and I don't know what she is but, she is about a 3/4 of a cm long.
Found: Savannah, Georgia, USA
(These pictures are of the same ant)


(I know I posted this somewhere else but I felt this was the proper section.)

I have her in a test tube setup just in case she's a queen

I confirm it sure is a queen. Congrats!

Thanks! I have her in a makeshift test tube right now. I have been looking all summer for a queen I have watched many of AntsCanada's video's so I hope she'll do okay. I AM getting actual test tubes in the mail today though.

Again thank you!

Also, I still don't know what she exactly is though

I took these videos of different worker ant on my lawn that she might be. I don't know if this is any help. (I found her in the video filmed at night.)

She is a queen, but she will die. This is Lienpithema humile, and unless you get her 100-200 workers to start helping her lay eggs real fast, she will die. Also neither of those videos show the same species.

So, what should I do?

also I've got this picture now, it's a little more clear.

Get her some Linepithema humile workers. They are most likely the most common species around there.

Can't they found a colony by theirselves or why is it so?
