Hello, New to the forum and forums in general, new to ant keeping, just pretty much new. I am not very good at Identifying ant species I have come to realize so any help would be appreciated.
1. Location of collection: Franklin, Tennessee
2. Date of collection: March 21, 1PM
3. Habitat of collection: Suburban, at workplace on sidewalk.
4. Length (from head to gaster): maybe 6-7mm
5. Color, hue, pattern and texture: shiny dark red to almost black looking. certain areas seem to be a little lighter color red.
6. Distinguishing characteristics: 2 petiole nodes
7. Distinguishing behavior: nothing out of ordinary i reckon.
8. Nest description: N/A
I do not have really any means to get nice close pictures. The attached photo is the best I could get. Again, thanks for the help.
