It's not supposed to be mating season in my region. I just found her wandering around my table. What species do you think she is of? And does she seem to have mated? I am totally new to ant keeping, please help.https://photos.app.goo.gl/7kfSA2mVKePNogtH7
Sorry pictures are not much good, she keeps moving too fast :(
