Ponera pennsylvanica. 

 

Semi-claustral. Feed her small, soft-bodied arthropods like fruit flies or springtails.

 

Which pictures?

 

9/16 inches seems pretty far off. That's 14 millimeters.

I don't understand. You left two sets of images on there, not one, and aren't even using proper names.

 

It is Crematogaster cerasi, not chromeatogatser.

also that is where I keep queen pictures that I recently identified or need identification. If I don't know what it is I put unknown species

I would embed those images here as to avoid confusion.


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.

Black lives still matter.
