Almost overlooked her, she came to my light sheet. small, approx. 7mm
note the flat face, her mandibles close all the way in, causing a box-like shape
can't figure her out.

Colobopsis?
Correct, i had actually figured it out late last night as i was getting to sleep. i finally went "hey wait a minute some Camponotus have a weird face like that"
Can you tell me where you found her? I mean which area in which country, like that.
it's in the title lol. southeast arizona, cochise county
Colobopsis papago
this seems to be correct, as i cannot find info on other colobopsis in this region. thank you. i had actually figured it out last night before i dozed off lol, at least to genus.

CORK HEADED ANTSSSSS yes definitely colobopsis, but as I don't live where these are found I couldn't tell you what type precisely. I love these types of ants! If you succeed in raising them to a colony you should make a small entrance that the majors can block with their heads when in danger. It would be super cool to see in captive conditions!
Currently raising:
Myrmica Rubra (1 queen + ~5 workers)
Lasius Niger (single queen + ~90+ workers)
Lasius Neoniger (two single queen + brood)
Formica spp. (Queen [likely parasitic, needs brood])
Also keeping a friend's tetramorium immigrans for the foreseeable future. Thanks CoffeBlock!

Ants are small creatures... but together... they can rule the world.
