If you just could have read the whole topic.. You'd see the post telling the species: Liometopum microcephalum.

I have the same queen like you, Acerola. It´s about 1cm long, big like queen of T. caespitum... I found it yestrday. Today it ,,cut" the wings and I´feed it. I´m waiting for first eggs...

Sorry for my bad english

That is okay Biolog1,
i read you have cut there wings yourself ? You need to be very careful if you do something like that. Make sure you don't hurt here.

Good Biolog. This queen is very typical with its flat back. If yours had the same then it is the same species.
In one hand it is an ideal ant for keeping because living on trees, it is less sensitive to vibration than most of other ants. On the other hand it it has very big colonies. It is maybe bigger than I want to keep.
