The pics are fine, you've got S. Xyloni there. And hey, are you using Legos as test tube racks?! Best idea of the year  :lol:


Lego as test tube racks was my son’s idea. I take no credit but it works great!

Thanks everyone! Seems everyone agrees they are S. xyloni. Are these going to be good for a beginner? As mentioned these are the first queens I’ve ever caught, and it appears from the other thread I posted, the other queen I caught that night was Crematogaster Mutans, which will need host workers I don’t have.

Btw, not sure what the etiquette is for marking this “solved.” Do I mark the first response with the species everyone finally agrees on? Does it even matter if its marked solved?

Thanks again!
