The ID format is pinned at the top of the Ant ID section so that you see it. We need close pictures of a higher quality. A macro lens or pics through a microscope would be ideal. I see you have some microscope pictures, in that case I would just try to see if you can get pictures that are a little less blurry.

Also try to get microscope pictures of the whole ant, not just parts of it.
