I am just curious, how do you know all of these? It is so impressive it baffles me.

As you get more experienced at antkeeping you naturally get better at IDing things

I am very successful at keeping ants, but I still suck at IDs. The two skills aren’t necessarily connected.

I am bad at both. Hopefully I will be more successful this year.  :blush:
