So the genus is Stigmatomma, and the species trigonignathum.

maybe... I think its called the bigfoot ant because its so rare.

Probably Only a couple sightings have been recorded 

And a colony of them would be a jackpot

 

well yes, but actually no. 

this is because you would probably need to give them to the myrmecologists that are studying them.

 

Yea I've never touched one or even seen one 

but they intrest me alot!

 

they're basically kind of like stigmatomma. You've said you saw them, so if you catch a stigmatomma, it will be like keeping bigfoot ants, but just a bit less rare.


Ants I am keeping:

 none for now, planning on being more active this year

This reminds me of Formica locknessii, rare and often mistaken for tiny driftwood (or was it the other way around?).
