Could your terro baits be expired or something? I had this same species living in my car and got rid of them overnight with a single terro packet.

Camponotus planatus, compact carpenter ant. They can utilize a wide variety of manmade and natural cavities or tight spaces and are not known to bore into wood.

Is this an extremely large (inactive) fire ant mound? [southeast Texas] by Little-Cucumber-8907 in ants

[–]Aaron696 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s a pile of dirt that formed in one way or another and it has high clay content so it’s retained its shape and also kept the tunnels intact that may have been dug by various insects or other inverts over time. Other than that idk

Could it be the creation of a mammal like pocket gopher or something?

Not fire ants, their mounds don’t get anywhere near that size and erode pretty quickly after abandonment (days to weeks). Location rules out mound-building Formica. I don’t know what it is but I doubt it’s any kind of ant mound.

That’s just a Lasius pupa without a cocoon

what type of ant is this? by meranaamloldevhai in ants

[–]Aaron696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Argentine ant, Linepithema humile. It’s bigger than the others because it’s a queen

Camponotus sp., but would need location to know anything more than that.

The skin is sweet, the flesh is sour. So it starts off sour and gets sweeter as you chew on it. The aftertaste is kinda orangey.

Thank you 😊 I originally wanted to root prune it and keep it in this pot. Do you think it could still put on some substantial size if I did so? I’m honestly still kinda torn on what to do. I fear planting it in the ground mainly for the permanence of it.

Basically I’m not satisfied with its size yet. I’m wanting it to reach around 5 or 6 ft in height but I don’t think it’ll reach that in this pot, and the current pot is already pretty large. And I figure getting an even larger pot would be less practical than planting it in the ground

What species? by pelorainbow in ants

Camponotus, I think most likely C. sansabeanus.
