This looks like cruentatus. Long workers and coloration give it away.

Seems like the guy you bought from has quite the collection of illegal ants. You could find yourself in serious trouble if the USDA finds out you own these.

Depending on interpretation, this is the seller's fault. The seller also lied to TC about the origination of the plant pests. Even if it was TC's fault, I doubt the USDA would fine him.

I'm aware how the USDA works. I also know the USDA wouldn't mind too much if they were froze like the fire ants. I can tell you this isn't the first time I've seen this, alot of people do have them. Doesn't make it right, but just like reptiles animals and other exotic insects you see, ants are getting commonly distributed from state to state or country to country.

The colony is froze. I'll leave them in for 48 hours before throwing them out.
