Hello,

I'd like to identify these workers. I have a small colony, but I cannot take a picture or video from the queen, because she is hide behind the eggs. I'll try to take a picture soon and add it.

The workers are like 2-3mm, brown color. They seem like Dorymyrmex sp. but I'm not sure.

Thanks

Do you have photographs? Videos can be kinda useless for ID's.

If you've enjoyed using my expertise and identifications, please do not create undue ecological risk by releasing your ants. The environment which we keep our pet insects is alien and oftentimes unsanitary, so ensure that wild populations stay safe by giving your ants the best care you can manage for the rest of their lives, as we must do with any other pet.

Exotic ants are for those who think that vibrant diversity is something you need to pay money to see. It is illegal to transport live ants across state lines.
