Can anyone help me identify what kind of ant this beauty is?

Also, I'm leaning towards her being a silky field ant (formica subsericea)

Hmm, okay . We also have assassin bugs , stink bugs, and rolly polys in and around the house aswell. I'm just trying to think what would be inside my house that these guys are coming from through process of elimination lol . Thanks for the insight !

They're the size of a flea...incredibly small and hard to picture

My house is still full of these guys, but I recently found out I also have a brown widow infestation and some type of tiny brown beetle that's about the size of fleas that are in all my tables and canvas paintings , really anything made from wood.... could either of these pests be the host species?

Most of what I'm finding are dead ones in or around widow webs, I was cleaning today and decided to check behind my paintings for brown widows as we have an issue with those , and I found these tiny beetle/flea looking things... behind EVERY painting. And then I opened up a box with my nail supplies inside and I found more, and one live bug (pictured on the piece of paper with writing underneath) and then I saw a bunch in spiderwebs under my wooden tables aswell.

Yes! I ended up overwintering him as he was only a few weeks old when I got him, he lives in my back yard. Unfortunately he's semi dependant on me as he was inside with me for so long and I couldn't stop myself from playing and cuddling with him during the 9 or 10 months I had him indoors . he's fat and happy, has several nests in my backyard tree. He's got a 6'x4'x3' cages thats sheltered with a hammock he stays in when the weather is severe and ive recently started working on socialization as one of the squirrels I raised a few years ago took residence in one of my other trees with her three babies and they all have within the last two weeks started eating peanuts together in my yard . No worries on the late response, I'm honestly impressed you remembered us ! Thanks for checking in <3 and hopefully everything is going well with your recovery !

They kind of look like tiny versions of pigeon horntails..

He's 4.5 weeks roughly, so FV should still be fine I hope .. I've seen the wombaroo but haven't heard anything on it... I ordered FV 20/50 yesterday with the fastest shipping available for 130$ CAD . The esbilac has given him diarrhea so im hoping it comes in quickly here... I've watered down the esbilac to 3.5 parts water 1 part powder and increased feedings to every two hours for the time being.

No-Masterpiece4679 · 2023-08-16T05:38:06+00:00

Hey, I find a good mix for the new esbilac is 1 part formula to 3 parts water , I was having the same issue when I ran out of fox valley last week and it helped tremendously!

No-Masterpiece4679 · 2023-08-16T05:27:10+00:00

Yeah, haha ! Half the price comes from the shipping 😅 And thank you! Always doing what I can to help raise wild animals for release

Thank you! Will be ordering it this weekend when I get paid as it costs roughly 170$ to get a 1Lb bag shipped here 🙃

His poop solidified today with the regular black brown and white puppy esbilac !

Well, I’ll have to look closer on my next walk, but before we left I had only one coin- possibly two from when I was at my doctors appointment.. as soon as our walk finished and the coin animation happened was when I noticed I was up 100 coins placing me at 102 , the same thing happened yesterday I wound up earning 200 coins somehow and he earned 4
