It would really be helpful for anyone trying to help if you could write in coherent English.

Assuming you mean a fresh queen dealte's founding chamber versus a mature colony's nest entrance, there are many threads on here depicting the differences of each. I believe there is even a "game" thread seeing if you can figure out which is which.

After a quick search on the forums, I found these threads:

http://www.formicult...unding-chamber/

Typically, a queen's entrance structure is a mound of dirt of mostly larger clumps forming a "C" shape, rather than a full circle.

Hit "Like This" if it helped.
