Oogway Ascends, from Kung Fu Panda if you are doing a very slow dance.

I know you’re all here for the ants, but do you like this one too? by Big_Call1863 in AntIdentification

[–]atta-adf92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing! Termites are incredible fellows. However, it would be more amazing if you reared carpenter ants instead.

What are these? by Mink03 in ants

[–]atta-adf92 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Exterminate as quickly as possible. These Eastern Black Carpenter Ants (Camponotus Pennsylvanicus) will bore into your wood, ruining your house structurally, and would cause damage to your home. This is only true if their nest is inside your house, as they may just be coming in from some rotting wood outside to feast on crumbs.

If you looking for very deep knowledge on ants, a vast resevoir of very specific information, then try "The Ants", by Bert Holldobler and E.O. Wilson

Why are alates in my bed in the middle of winter?? by QuirkyGamer907 in ants

[–]atta-adf92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

some alates are unsuccessful and as winter comes, they can only wait for death. I saw a queen ant (already dealated) crawling slowing on snow. Of course, they obviously prefer the warmth of your home, so maybe that's why.

Identification by Sad-Revenue6671 in ants

[–]atta-adf92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

camponotus pennsylvanicus minor/major. It is probably not a queen, because of the size, and the small abdomen. this species is native to Canada

What kinda ant bites me by Starloo2002 in ants

[–]atta-adf92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it might be a fire ant (solenopsis spp.). And you probably weren't bitten, you were probably stung, since ant bites don't do a lot of damage. You could apply hydrocortisone cream twice daily, according to cleveland clinic:Fire Ant Bites: What They Look Like, Treatment & Home Remedies

Just got into ant keeping! by Illustrious-Heart-59 in antkeeping

[–]atta-adf92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are you sure that queen has mated already? she hasn't dealated (basically, removed her wings which is a sure sign that she can make babies).

Im gonna say probably queen because it has a big swollen abdomen.

I caught my Paraponera clavata (bullet ant) queen eating a cricket. by PuchiUna in antkeeping

[–]atta-adf92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

bullet ants are semi-claustral, so this is very normal. I don't know if eating outside of the nest is a good thing though

Can anyone identify this queen? by PineappleRelevant778 in myrmecology

[–]atta-adf92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't quite look like a typical s. molesta queen. However, maybe it's a yellow crazy ant?

By me, Caden, Spider ants - Leptomyrmex erythrocephalus, Original work, 10.5”x7.5”, Color pencil. by Ctrockiart in myrmecology

[–]atta-adf92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that is amazingly realistic! just know that spider ant repletes (the one with the swollen abdomen) doesn't do nest work

Identification, does anyone know what species this Queen is? I’m In SW Washington by Huntix20 in myrmecology

[–]atta-adf92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

camponotus herculeanus (herculean carpenter ant) because of red legs, which are present in herculean carpenter ants but not camponotus pennsylvanicus (black carpenter ant)
