It was cyphomyrmex but it's not my photo, so didn't want to plagiarize, just to be safe

The answer for my drawing is Myrmica sp!


 Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?

There are so many fascinating ants right were you live!

I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that are not found in your area.

Has anyone ever played this identification game? To play: type in Formicidae in the top right corner and press 'get', then press 'start', and then 'next' (bottom right).
