Can anyone id this species for me? Here is a video of some workers  (Not my video but they look exactly the same as the workers of the queen I caught which has 3 workers) My location is on my profile.

We would need photographs of your ants, since we would have to be sure they look exactly alike as well. The video is shaky and doesn't even let us know how long these workers are. Since you have a queen, seeing her would help narrow down the ID as well.


If you've enjoyed using my expertise and identifications, please do not create undue ecological risk by releasing your ants. The environment which we keep our pet insects is alien and oftentimes unsanitary, so ensure that wild populations stay safe by giving your ants the best care you can manage for the rest of their lives, as we must do with any other pet.

 

Exotic ants are for those who think that vibrant diversity is something you need to pay money to see. It is illegal to transport live ants across state lines.
