I found these little brown ants in my mailbox this morning there was hundreds of them and they were with multiple queens. I only only managed to harvest two queens and one is a little wobbly, granted she is a few legs short. Anyways, can anyone ID these for me? I am in southwest Missouri.
Here’s a picture. If you need another, I will post some more : https://share.icloud...m7dtt4Q3-t7RKsw

You should probably post this on the id section next time.

I would move the ants back into a test tube. That AC ant nest is far too large for the colony right now.
