Formica aren't endemic to Malaysia.
Yeah so? Are you saying that they aren't found? Cause I'm not sure going if that's the right definition of endemic....

2.
(of a plant or animal) native or restricted to a certain country or area.
"a marsupial endemic to northeastern Australia"

Alabama, Phoenix was correct. If you notice in that definition, it says "native" to an area. It doesn't have to be found just there. 

2.
(of a plant or animal) native or restricted to a certain country or area.
"a marsupial endemic to northeastern Australia" 

 

But wow, Phoenix. You've caught how many queens now? 10? 12?

Side Note: Probably, um. I have about 36 Queens in their founding stages.

They don't exist in Malaysia. He said it correct.

 

This is off-topic. We should stop hijacking this thread.

If it helps, she's sensitive towards any vibration affecting her.

I think you're right; length checks out, and the gaster marking matches up as well.
