yeeeah so i have this adorable lil queen i found in Colorado and well lasius are just terrible with identifying. I think its either brevicornis or nearcticus. And i think the only way i can tell is if i get 2 colonies: in #1 colony ill have just one queen, and in #2 colony ill have multiple queens. If the multiple queen one succeeds, then its brevicornis. But other than that heres a video of the one i have right now. Why are ants so cute?
