Species Confusion
Hey guys. I am pretty new to antkeeping, but I have certainly done my research. Today I stumbled upon a weird looking fella, which I later realised was what I believe a myrmecocystus sp. But the weird part is that it is only found in North America, and I am in southern France. I am curious to find out the mystery behind this. Please feel free to disagree, as I want to know as to what is going on here...

It's probably something else then. Pictures and a measurement help.
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.

Re: Species Confusion
Haha sorry I was silly, as I by chance stumbled onto Crematogaster Scutellaris on the internet, and it’s that! Also it doesn’t let me post pictures, says something like they take up to much space, even 1 photo which is like 800 kilobytes. Thanks anyways

Re: Species Confusion
It would've been interesting if that was really Myrmecosystus.
