Awesome Catch of A Bday
So today is my Bday and I been wanting to keep ants for a while, but I couldn't because I knew nuptial flight was over besides some rare occurences. Haha well my brother found for me one of those rare occurrences when he spotted one I currently didn't have a test tube yet so I scooped it up with a water bottle that is empty then transferred it to a pill bottle I had cleaned a while ago. Well sure it didn't have the best transfer because it kind've got caught in the droplets of water. I think I got it out of the water droplets in time though I plan to take pics in a few days I'm feeling it might be solenopsis or maybe a myrmica or tetramorium, but I don't know yet well that's all wish it luck that it'll survive and if it does I will probs name it Lucky for the various reasons I have given.

That is super awesome . I hope everything goes well and hope she survives. You'll HAVE to keep me updated . You'll also have to tell me if that pill bottle is working for you. Again. CONGRATS.

Re: Awesome Catch of A Bday
true also I would say she is around a centimeter and she is redish by the way do you think she can lay eggs right now or should I just prep her for hibernationLasiusSapien wrote: ↑Sat Oct 26, 2019 11:43 amyeah watched the vid but tbh i'm not sure she'll be easier to ID when she loses her wings, soz bud not much help thereJustABitAntsy wrote: ↑Sat Oct 26, 2019 11:31 amhey thanks also I made a post of a vid i recorded it with can you see if you knowwhat type of queen it is?LasiusSapien wrote: ↑Sat Oct 26, 2019 11:28 am

Thanks. Nive vid. Couldn't really see the queen clear enough to ID her, but she looks really nice.
