Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores it's provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. Proverbs 6: 6-8

Looks like a Liometopum queen, nice. They get high first gen worker counts though (around 30-60 nanitics), so good luck with that.

Great! I've seen colonies in my park and always wanted them! I read that they can get into the tens of thousands! I'm assuming it's occidentale because that's the species that live around here.
