Re: Ant Queen Identification
I had one queen from fire ants try to kill me and another that would run around in my hand. I try not to pick them up after I instinctively killed one biting my leg.Mohammadmacapundag wrote: ↑Tue Jan 04, 2022 2:17 pmIt does look like one but i touched it my self it never stung me.

I found my first successful S. geminata queen a split second before she was torn to pieces by an Odontoponera worker.SolenopsisKeeper wrote: ↑Tue Jan 04, 2022 5:25 pmI had one queen from fire ants try to kill me and another that would run around in my hand.

Most likely Solenopsis invicta.

Re: Ant Queen Identification
Congrats! That is 90% a S. Invicta queen, but the other option hasn’t been reported in your area(S. Xyloni)
