Really like the colors on this ant. Found by the dumptsers at work as always. Half a cm. Would like to find a queen of it.

Looks like a callow worker of Camponotus decipiens. Strange that she's outside of the nest when isn't old enough.

Could be malnutrition.

This is a creative thread. I've never seen one post their requests like this before.

 

Just don't be releasing your invicta queens!

Thanks, I'm always finding ants and never know what they are haha. 

And I kid you not, I was just sitting here debating which invicta colony to put down first.

Found a bunch of ants at my light attractor. Most abundant was solenopsis Invicta and whatever this is. 1Cm long.



Also caught this super tiny thing no more than .5cm.
