Greetings guys.I found a queen yesterday I was hoping you could ID for me.I found her at night time, in the city nowhere near light though.She measures 0.6 cm,dark brown head and gaster and lighter brown thorax.She stands still when she thinks she is undetected and sprints like hell when she thinks she is spotted.Maybe lepisiota?No idea when they fly in Greece though.Cheers,thank you for checking this thread out

Yea probably Nylanderia but not sure of the species

Been keeping ants since January of 2021

Always try new things, even if its hard, hard is not impossible. We are smart and it's good to be smart but not too smart for your own good.
