Hey everyone

Can you help me identify those ants?

I don't know if it helps, but I've seen at least 4 of the "big ants" (queens?) in that location, inches from each other.

Thank you! ❤️

Looks like either Monomorium minimum, Monomorium ergatogyna, or Monomorium viridum. And yes, the large ants are queens.

"God made..... all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds (including ants). And God saw that it was good. Genesis 1:25 NIV version

Keeping:

Tetramorium immigrans

Formica pallidefulva, argentea

Formica cf. aserva

Pheidole bicarinata

Lasius claviger

Camponotus vicinus, modoc

Lasius neoniger, brevicornis
