Sorry if the pictures are not that clear.
Queen #1 (1 queen caught) I think it may be a Mexican Twig Ant Queen
Queens 2 and 3 I think may be the same species but I am unsure. they all already have a small cluster of eggs as well.
Queen #2 (3 queens caught but 1 has a messed up gaster) Not sure what species.
Queen #3 (2 queens caught) Not sure what species.
Queen #4 (1 queen caught) Not sure what species.
After a day queen #4 almost drowned herself by trying to burrow into the cotton ball separating her and the water in the test tube setup.
Thank you for checking out my post!
