Hey guys was wondering what do of ant this is. The author labelled it as secostruma but it definitely isn't. Here's a link to the website.https://termitesanda...ex-pungens.html
Here's a screenshot.

Young ant keeper with a decent amount of knowledge on local ant species.

YouTube: https://m.youtube.co...uKsahGliSH7EqOQ (It's pretty dead. Might upload again soon, don't expect my voice to sound the same though.)

Currently kept ant species, favorites have a star in front of their names (NOT in alphabetical order, also may be outdated sometimes): ★ Camponotus irritans inferior, ★ Ooceraea biroi, Pheidole parva, ★ Nylanderia sp., ★ Paraparatrechina tapinomoides, Platythyrea sp., Anochetus sp., Colobopsis sp. (cylindrica group), ★ Crematogaster ferrarii, Polyrhachis (Myrma) cf. pruinosa, Polyrhachis (Cyrtomyrma) laevissima, Tapinoma sp. (formerly Zatapinoma)

Death count: Probably over a hundred individual queens and colonies by now. I cannot recall whatsoever.

The closest ant I can find that looks like that ant is Rostromyrmex, although it could actually be Secostruma


Began antkeeping in 2018  :)

Seems too shiny and red for the one Secostruma species in existence 


Um, uh, Ants!

Perhaps its an undescribed secostruma? That dude finds all sorts of weird stuff.
