I was outside in my garage and spotted this ant and was wondering what it is? I don’t think it’s a queen because it seemed smaller. Is it a “pharaoh ant”? It climbed up on a piece of drift wood I found…. I live in Melbourne Florida

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.
