FAQ for Identifying ants.
Things you might need:
-tweesers
-ruler
-camera
-sheet of paper
-pencil

Whichever ant you want to get an ID on, you NEED a picture, the closer the better.
Idealy take the picture with a ruler next to the ant so that we can determine the exact size of the ant.
Take notes of behavour, colour, diet and anything unusual.
If possible follow the ant back to the nest and get pictures of the nest itself, and possibly the queen.
Above all DO NOT disturb the nest, and DO NOT harm any ants.


If anyone can think of anything else to add, then please feel free. Jimmy any chance we can make it a sticky?
