she is quite a small ant, about 4-5mm, pretty dark and slow and has very acorn ant behavior where she does not care about me carrying her and is just chill overall. She looks like she has big mandibles, but her thorax is a bit small making me thing she is some sort of Myrmica.
her just chilling on my desk
close up of her
please help me identify her because she looks very nice to keep
Currently keeping:
1x Solenopsis molesta
1x Formica subsericea (polygynous) has WORKERS!!!
