How about, instead of giving answers based on vague information we make them follow the format?
I don’t want to sound rude, but there is never a 100% certainty—not even with a perfect ID request which follows the template to a “T.” This thread, obviously, doesn’t follow the “format” or even give much of the information. While that which he did give was helpful, we don’t have any clue to where he’s located other than the fact that he uses Tapatalk, which is used and searched for more frequently in Europe, Canada, and China than in the US (https://trends.googl...re?q=tapatalk); that the Tapatalk “signature” is in english, and his fluency in English itself. These latter two suggest an Anglophone country. Again, this is just conjecture.
Even assuming he is indeed from the US, there is a gigantic diversity in species and genera. I don’t feel comfortable stating that this is even Pheidole with the photo given, let alone that she’s Ph. navigans.
Judging on Bronco's journals and questions I can guess that Bronco lives in California, because Bronco asks for places to search for queens in California and says that he got a colony from dspdrew. I do agree that proper formatting should be followed, as not everyone reads all the posts. No date of capture was also provided.
