How did you get solenopsis texana? Those are only at point pelee in ontario. Chances are it’s solenopsis molesta. Also, you don’t have to be scared to post an accurate location of the city or province that you’re in, the forum is safe and we cannot track you or anything.

This is turning into more of a journal/Ant Id request.

Just so this doesn't go off topic I will make a journal tomorrow and a Id request.
