I found a colony of these ants and scooped some up into a container to see if i had the queen or not the ants have been doing great and are still alive so i think they may have the queen but still am not sure. I also caught a myrmica queen which lays eggs but then eats them i want to see if i can introduce a pupea for the queen to see if she will raise it or not.

this ant was found in Cleveland Ohio

the ant is 3mm

reddish color to the ant with orange tipped gaster

Might be a Pheidole or Solenopsis species, but I'm no identifiying expert.

Tetramorium caespitum

[antwatcher606]

What I believe is that this is a Aphaenogaster Fulva because they are native in Ohio and they are red to a orange tip gaster. However, I can't really tell because of the quality.

That’s 100% a Tetramorium.
That’s 100% a Tetramorium. They’re “stockier” than Aphaenogaster.

This thread is two years old guys...

I agree with Tetramorium, although I also think the person who originally requested the ID most likely won't read any of this any time soon, unless we just wanted to make it into a discussion thread.
