Ant identification game

Here is an ant identification game I found, it is pretty fun! Were it asks for the taxon type in Formicidae. If we want to, we can record our best scores at 25, 50, 75, and 100 questions. My best at 25 is 100%.
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.

Is there a link?
Why don’t more people like ants?
Is anyone from Wyoming who wants to sell ants?

I have been playing this since last month -or something like that- and I think it is indeed worth your time. I have not had much time available myself but I would recomend it to anybody who is interested.
My current colonies:
-Miniature Military(formica neogagates)
-Black Hearts(crematogaster cerasi)
In search of new camponotus colony
[Have a look at antmaps.org]

It really helped me with my ID skills, in about a month I went from 60% to 90% correct.
