The image link does not work.  You should learn how to imbed the image so it displays without having to click a link.  There is a tutorial on how to do so in the "Important Topics" box on the top right corner of the home page.

Can you get a pic from the side? 

[FeedTheAnts]

Wow, that is an interesting looking ant. I agree that it would be nice to have a pic from the side, but even from above it does appear to have a queen like thorax.

[rbarreto]

I think I see wing scars.

[cudenden55]

here's from the side, its gaster tell me it's a major, but its head and thorax tell me it's a queen, idk tho

[rbarreto]

Looks like a queen to me. I would have guessed Diacamma sp. but she is too small and the head shape looks different so I won't even bother guessing.

[FeedTheAnts]

It's a queen. Make sure to feed it though, as it is definitely not fully claustral. 

This is an absolutely wild guess but maybe it is Odontoponera.

I wouldn't say a wild guess. I think it is definitely Odontoponera denticulata.

I agree with Odontoponera as well.

wait, she doesnt lay any eggs, after i left her for a weeks with honey  and water, what happened?

[Leo]

Well, I've kept odontoponera many times and they seem to like either a small plaster-based container (2x2cm is ok) and high humidity. Feed her a termite every 3 days or so. and have some tinfoil with honey on it. They don't mind sunlight.

[Leo]

To help her, introduce workers, they get along perfectly.

 

(wet tissues work too)

[cudenden55]

 Update: ...found another one... they're workers TUT not a single queen

[cudenden55]

[cudenden55]
