Today I was out searching for queens and looking at some local ant colonies just out of curiosity and then I found a strange looking ant running around on its own,I manage to catch it with my hand (carefully) and decided to put it in my testube and take some photos of it but my phone's camera was really bad, I tried to find its nest or other similar ants but I couldn't find anything so I decided to take it with me home and put it on the microscope to see it and try to id it, because I couldn't take good photos with the ant inside the testube and there was no point on release it because it was a single worker, I froze it in the refrigerator,here some pics of it. I hope someone can Id it. I would be greatful!
ps: I know it was not the best thing to do (cathing it and then froze it) but it was alone anyways and there was a lot of messors around so I guess it had a lot of chances to die, at least now I got photos of it and I can try to id it (with your help).
Thanks for any help!
