So, after a bit of discussion on this topic. I decided to make this thread to sort of experiment if more threads like this would make the forum more popular.

 

Post a picture of an ant and everyone will have to guess what species is it; also don't post your unidentified queen here, this is not an identification thread.

 

I got this idea from wildwiselizard from the ACAF so credit to him.

 Sorry for the trashy quality, this is a very old photo and I thought I might as well try it.

Close once again... Also I must guess, hhhm, first photo is some kind of Pheidole, and the second is looking a lot like Lasius americanus.

Those of you who have been following my journal for a long time should know what species these are. :)

Paratrechina longicorns? This is the only thing that comes to mind, but I may be wrong.  :thinking:

Lepisiota sp. too blurry to pin  which species. My second guess is Nylanderia.

Fairly easy genus, but can you also guess the species? (Is it fair to not add where it was collected, but throw it out as a hint if no one can guess it or if someone asks?)
