If you have read up on Pheidole, you will know that they have impressive super majors, large workers with large heads used for colony defense, lifting heavy objects, and slicing food with their muscle packed heads. Camponotus also have super majors.
I found ant colonies and I need help to identify them

The queens are pheidole because I found them near a huge nest of this ants and I saw workers and big headed majors around.

Re: I found ant colonies and I need help to identify them
Just because you find queens near an ant nest doesn't mean they're the same species. For example, a Camponotus queen could land near the nest of Lasius. That doesn't mean that it is Lasius, it just means it landed near Lasius.AntsGreece wrote: ↑Sun Jun 10, 2018 5:21 amThanks for the answerAntsDakota wrote: ↑Sat Jun 09, 2018 7:48 pmIf you have read up on Pheidole, you will know that they have impressive super majors, large workers with large heads used for colony defense, lifting heavy objects, and slicing food with their muscle packed heads.
