So I think I got 2 Crematogaster queens. My problem is, they aren't in this part of the world. I have pictures on a good camera I will add later, once I get them off the camera. But for now I have a dead alate I found in a rain barrel. It's the same species as the 2 queens I caught. I was going to add pictures of that off my phone but it keeps saying file too large. If we can identify them, I will need any information you have on how to care for them. I don't know if they are fully or semi clasutral. I just started catching queens this spring so I am very new to this. Also how do I make file smaller?

If you think they look like Crematogaster, then they are most likely "fully" claustral. Crematogaster totally exist in your part of the world, but I would wait on pictures.

Oh really?? Maybe I was mistaking the ragion maps for where they originated from?
But I still haven't been able to get to a computer to upload pics. Do you have a timeline for how to care for them? As in when to expect eggs, larvae, and when to move them to a omninest?

Also how do I compress a file to post here?

Upload it elsewhere like flickr, then link to here.
