Location and size needed but it could be Messor. But again I will need size and location.
An ants' strength can be rivaled by few animals compared to relative body size.

What part of the U.S. is important, because it could be a place with only RIFA or a place with multiple Solenopsis spp.
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.

There are both monogynous and polygynous kinds. Better safe than sorry.
