Found this ant during a Solenopsis nuptial flight I was taking a lot of queens but I realized that this one was far away from the others in the tube and then I noticed her gaster. Could it be Crematogaster sp. ?

Location: Rio de Janeiro - Brazil

Size: About 9mm

Its Crematogaster. Try putting her in an arboreal set up!

100% Crematogaster species. Test Tube set up is fine.

What I mean by arboreal set up is a weird thing I made. It is sort of like a test tube held up by twigs. Only do that when workers come. Sorry, I made no sense.
