I just picked up the hobby and have caught two ants thinking they were queens, sadly the first died after about a week of keeping her in a test tube set up, indicating she was not a queen. A couple of days ago I found another ant much bigger than the first, and thought this must be a queen based on the size. Now I’m skeptical she may just be a super major, and don’t want to kill another innocent worker pls help
p.s. the forum won't let me attach a picture, I just keep getting the prompt "file too large" so any tips on fixing that or maybe just general indicators of a queen over a super major would be greatly appreciated!

I suggest searching for an 'image to link' converters, typically I use https://imgbb.com/ but you could use google drive, flickr, imgur etc.

The fact that the first ant died doesn't indicate she wasn't a queen. Those can die too.Wilderspinzoe wrote: ↑Fri May 22, 2020 2:46 pmI just picked up the hobby and have caught two ants thinking they were queens, sadly the first died after about a week of keeping her in a test tube set up, indicating she was not a queen.

Imgur is easy to use. Just upload a picture, copy the BBCode and paste it into the text of your next post.
