I need help with my new queen, please.
I caught a queen in August and my boyfriend and I have been caring for her. She is in her test tube set up and now she has babies!! I am so excited to start a colony, but I want to know what species she is. I have done some research, but I'm still confused. I caught her in Fort Mohave, Arizona in the afternoon time. I have pictures but I was not sure how to upload them to the forum, but if you contact me via email I can send them. If someone could help me I would be very grateful.

One of the easiest ways to share the pictures with us would be to upload them to https://imgur.com. Click new post at the top left and after you've uploaded the image, share the url with us.

An ants' strength can be rivaled by few animals compared to relative body size.

Re: I need help with my new queen, please.
Spp. refers to multiple species within a certain genus. Since the queen is only one species, the correct term would be Solenopsis sp.
