1. Location (on a map) of collection: Joliet IL
2. Date of collection: 7-7-2021
3. Habitat of collection: in the grass between the sidewalk and street within my neighborhood
4. Length (from head to gaster): N/A ATM but it looks to be about the size of a black carpenter ant supermajor
5. Color, hue, pattern and texture: Redish brown in the thorax and head area, gastor is redish brown with light colored rings and legs are lighter than rest of ant
6. Distinguishing characteristics: light color rings around gastor, lighter colored legs than rest of ant
7. Distinguishing behavior: pretty fast movement and can be a little feisty when startled
8. Nest description: N/A I found her by herself moving to the grass from the sidewalk
9. Nuptial flight time and date: no idea to be honest. found her probably around 4pm central time
sorry for the lack of some information, but I hope this is mostly helpful. if exact length is needed, I will try to get it. I just have her in the dark right now, and whenever i take her out from the dark, she goes pretty nuts with all the running around in the test tube and it takes a little bit to get her to chill out.
Thanks everyone in advance!
