I have some colonies and queens that I do not know the exact species of. I want to sell them and it would be easier if I know the exact species. If you want a different angle tell me and I will try my best. The habitat is a deciduous forest unless stated otherwise.

1.
Ahaenogaster probably Rudis. I can't remember when I caught these queens it was either last year or before that.

2.
Parasitic Lasius sp. I have two, the other with a more orange-ish thorax if you think it may be a different species I will post a photo. There are some workers of I think this species around my house, I can post a photo if you want one. Caught yesterday.

Nylanderia I think Faisonensis. Caught a few days ago by my little brother.

Pheidole I think fallax group dentata or morrisi. One caught yesterday another caught a week ago in my room.

One of the parasitic queens died so I pinned her. It was the first time pinning so it's not good I will post a picture soon.
