I don't think your link is working. :(

 

Also, please have mercy on us who do ID's and invest in a ruler. The accuracy of the ID is usually only as good as the details.

If you've enjoyed using my expertise and identifications, please do not create undue ecological risk by releasing your ants. The environment which we keep our pet insects is alien and oftentimes unsanitary, so ensure that wild populations stay safe by giving your ants the best care you can manage for the rest of their lives, as we must do with any other pet.

 

Exotic ants are for those who think that vibrant diversity is something you need to pay money to see. It is illegal to transport live ants across state lines.

Black lives still matter.

Not an ant. Looks like a wasp of some sort.

Is it? They're social, I know that. I've picked these up before. They seem pretty docile.
