Re: What is this... long queen?
Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?
There are so many fascinating ants right where you live!
I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that aren't in your area.

Re: What is this... long queen?
Have you heard of an ant called the white footed ant? That species is Technomyrmex albipes and they are highly invasive, they look quite similar to black crazy ants and so you may not know about them since they look almost identical to you. They are native to Southeast Asia and have spread to Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and lots of islands. Some of you may not have heard of them probably because they never spread to North America.
