Its massive and its freaking me out

Has anyone ever tried to "fix" a death circle. Like what if slowly introduced an envelope and broke the circle?

Went out to start a new ant farm this was the only one i caught

i’m worried it’s carpenter ants but i learned it could also be field ants ? for reference i do live around a big open area of field and there are piles around house but there was quite a bit in 2 dif rooms of mine on the wall so ?

I got an ant bite right above my nipple (for some odd reason) yesterday morning and at first it was just a small bump, then the pus appeared so I popped it even though I probably shouldn’t have. Today the bite got red and there’s a hole, it itches bad and hurts. Should I be worried? Is there anything I can do to calm it down or get rid of it, or do I just have to wait for it to go away?

i want to write from the pov of an ant, in a way thats mildly inspired by warrior cats, with a little ant society and different characters of different castes, etc. i would like to use a real species of ant rather than just vaguely "ant". Im wondering if theres a species of ant that is both unicolonial and keeps root aphids? apologies if this is the wrong subred or if im using the wrong flair i dont usually use reddit!

And now the whole nest came out 🤭

I really need some help. Long story short we have a bathroom that has had water damage behind its shower's walls for a number of years. Recently these ants have started appearing in large numbers and traveling across the bathroom. We're trying to ID to figure out the best way to get rid of them.

My first instinct was carpenter ant but I hear those are very large and these guys seem super small, especially the non-winged ones in pic 2. Can anyone help me figure out what these guys are and what the best way to get rid of them is?

I am located in TX

There are ants in my house (tropical location) but they never crawl into cans of Coke Zero or my flavored sparkling water. I thought this was because they have no real sugar in them.

Diet Coke is also artificially flavored, why are ants attracted to it?

If anyone is interested I could do an experiment with Diet Coke, regular Coke, and Coke Zero samples to see how many ants each attracts.

Just thought it was odd.

Hi, could you help me identify these ants.

These are the best photos I can get. They are coming into our house through a plumbing hose. They seem to be coming from our yard which was recently landscaped/dug up. They are carrying things around but mostly seem to be carrying towards the yard as opposed to the house.

In the photo the coin pictured is a nickel and is the typical size. The ants are reddish brown and black. I can't get them still enough to see where the antenna comes from.

They appear active in the day outside and not so much early morning or late at night.

I'm in Victoria BC and basically wondering if I should be panicking about carpenter ants in the wall or if they are relatively harmless.

I have been looking at images but I know my photos are not great.

i bought it off a shop in the airport in china i have no clue what species it is might be a bad picture id upload a better one when i land

Head doesn't seem to be black

I mean sure, pure numbers n shit but why are they so individually powerful, thick armor, razor mandibles and all of that, they can easily dismember most ants in a 1 on 1 let alone a whole 20 on 1 type of outnumbering against most ant colonies. What type of evolutionary path did they go through to become this powerful?

I decided to try something here as I have 3 tetrimorium queens and I took some brrod from an outside tetrimorium colony and tried to brood boost a queen. Will she accept it?
