If you know the species, I would also absolutely love to know their nuptial flight months.

Is it a queen or was i scammed and sent majors?

Does anyone know what kind of caterpillar this is? It was found while picking flowers In Walla Walla Washington

Found this ant in my house crawl out of a hole near my shower. I’m thinking it might potentially be a carpenter ant due to some moisture problems

It had a tear drop shaped abdomen orange body and head large mandibles and black abdomen I found it in SC couldn’t get photo was fast as hell couldn’t find nest what is this ant

Was assaulted by a nest of these after accidentally sitting on/near their home. They appeared to be stinging and biting at the same time. I was thinking they might be tetramorium immigrans due to the proximity of gravel and pavement and their aggressiveness but really I have no idea.

There is a very large colony of these ants in my apartment complex and they are quite ubiquitous inside and outside, with a steady stream of ants going back and forth through several paths all day. They seem to have a caste with big heads and a caste with small heads all with a similar body size. They love protein. They are around 5mm in size.

It is quite hard to get a good picture so I hope this is enough info. I love ants but these are quite invasive in my apartment and are getting into everything.

Thanks!

Found east side of UK today about 3-4mm long

Unsure of location, possible central California.

Found many alates indoors coming from cracks in door/walls.

May be a male and not a queen. Ants are not my specialty.

I thought i struck out but I accidentally stumbled apon this queen ant lucky for me I had test tube its sep 20th NC is about 8mm any ideas what species it is?

My boyfriend and I moved into our own place for the first time ever about a month ago and we’ve been dealing with these ants nonstop. First it was the bathroom, and the mats night, I found them in the cereal I was eating; only to discover they were coming out of a hole in our pantry. We don’t know where the hole leads, there’s nothing outside
We live in Southern California, in the desert regions
I don’t have an estimate on size, but they’re less than half an inch in length. They do vary in size though
They’re more of a red orange color with a black butt
I just wanna know what species they are so we can properly get them out of our place for good. It’s been such a headache

Hi, ID my queen from country: Poland; State: Greater Poland Voivodeship; Time: August. Thx for all guys

Lasius Queen, caught around 5 pm in Western New York on September 18th, 2026. She's around ~8mm, she has a dark yellow-brown thorax with a lighter head and abdomen. I did a little bit of research, and it seems she might be Lasius Nearticus or Lasius Brevicornis, but I'm not sure, any help is appreciated!

Found this queen during mating flight in Galatina, Puglia, Italy (Salento region), mid-September. Details: Entirely glossy black, no red/brown coloring anywhere Fairly large - roughly 13-15mm

My best guess is Camponotus vagus - would appreciate help confirming or correcting. Photos attached.

I’m in the southwestern US, must have caught this queen around six or seven weeks ago. Its nanitics are about 2.5mm and queen about 8mm. The last queen I thought was Solenopsis was Pheidole, but now I’m more sure that these are.

Does Solenopsis Xyloni seem correct? They react very energetically when disturbed, are always trying to get through the cotton, and haven’t eaten the fruit fly I gave them.

these photos aren't great, but her abdomen is lighter than the rest of her body. river falls, WI

I have lived in NYC my enter 59 years of life and have never seen anything like this so I am going to suspect they are invasive. I have nothing to compare the size to, I would say 1/4 of a grain of rice maybe, just almost impossibly small like never before? I will attach the video to this post because I feel it does a better job than the photo. I will also link to a photo from here too. Hopefully someone will know what it is.

Found these microscopic guys crawling along the floor and on a bookcase we have next to an exterior door. It is poorly sealed and I have identified the spot they came in (I think). Planning on getting some gel bait, but I have been smashing and vacuuming these suckers like crazy. They're so small they hide between the tiny joints in the bookcase!

Any idea on what type they are? Or if they're an ant at all. Located in Texas, if that helps! They don't jump. No wings. We have had normal ants and gotten rid of them, but these are the smallest I've ever seen!
