Are you asking if that is what it is or are you just showing it off? Please be clear about the purpose of your post.

Why make a post when you don’t even have an image ready?



Also, that isn’t paratrechina. Its clearly a myrmicine, probably solenopsis.

Yes. That is not a Paratrechina. It is either a species of long waisted formicine ant (Oecophylla, Lepisiota etc.), or a myrmicine like solenopsis, etc.

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Currently kept ant species, favorites have a star in front of their names (NOT in alphabetical order, also may be outdated sometimes): ★ Camponotus irritans inferior, ★ Ooceraea biroi, Pheidole parva, ★ Nylanderia sp., ★ Paraparatrechina tapinomoides, Platythyrea sp., Anochetus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.
