Queen Ant Identification
I just recently caught a queen ant in a test tube setup and I was wondering if this queen is in fact a queen ant, And if so, What Species is it?

Let us remember that even though ants are wonderful creatures, even more magnificent is their creator
Re: Queen Ant Identification
Hello we caught 3 Queen ants, all look different. Need help Identifying them please. Thanks again for inspiring kids to get outside and discover nature. All these ants were found by my 9 year old son!
Re: Queen Ant Identification
I need help identifying what species queen this is. She is 8 mm long. I caught her on a rainy day on June 8, 2018. At 9:00 on a rainy day.

Re: Queen Ant Identification
Jumping in as well, caught a queen in my room. All I know is that it does NOT look like a Solenopsis genera.
Forgive the crap pic, only have the cam on my smartphone and she isn't very big (8mm at most, red & black with a red fading to black gaster).
What's throwing me off is that she has a squarish head.

Re: Queen Ant Identification
All of you should just start your own post and actually embed the pictures in your post. This is why you haven't had anyone give you an answer. If you need to know how to post a picture there is a stickied post on how to do so.

Re: Queen Ant Identification
I think I should also say I need help with the identification of my 4 ants but haha I already made a post for that with 3 hopefully good enough pictures.
Doing some proper research is the best way to start an antcolony.

she is 15mm long or 1.5 cm
please let me know if this is a queen and what species she is? (I believe her to be a fire ant)
what is a her diet and how long should it take for her to start laying eggs typically?
thank you
I found her on my dining room table 2 days ago. she is full of energy and has already displaced intelligence

Re: Queen Ant Identification
I'm not quite sure if its a solenopsis (tropical fire ant) just yet but all queens typically start laying eggs in a high humidity setup. Just leave her alone with plenty of water in the dark and she should start laying anywhere between 2 days and 3 weeks. Eggs will get to the aldut stage when they're a month old. As for feeding, i haven't had or seen any ant colonies refusing roaches. Tip: try cutting the roaches into smaller parts before feeding when your colony is small.imperialdefender wrote: ↑Sat Jun 30, 2018 8:23 pmhttps://youtu.be/QksCa8tmEo4
