I captured her July 4th and she has laid a nice little pile of eggs.

Very hard to say, pictures are not that clear. My first guess would be a Camponotus species.

She is approximately 6.35mm long and i found her on the back of my father's trailer in the middle of Kansas.

6.35mm hm, that is to small for a Camponotus species. Mabey a Solenopsis but now i'm more guessing on the size you give than on the pictures.

Ok that is what i thought, someone suggested that it was a Pheidole

von **damondeionno** » 21. Jul 2009 08:49

My first thought was Pheidole, or maybe Solenopsis. Perhaps we should place some bets?

Alright, we shall, when the ants are born, ill be able to tell you what they are

von **donbilbo** » 21. Jul 2009 15:21

Well i have some Pheidole as well as Solenopsis and i can only ask for a decent picture to identify. Your pics hardly show any features....

von **Andrew** » 22. Jul 2009 04:17

i apologize as that is the best i can do.

The first worker was born yesterday

von **damondeionno** » 7. Aug 2009 11:55

And? What is it?

von **elmnt** » 7. Aug 2009 23:25

She looks very much like my Pheidole bicarinata queens.

von **MorbidMike** » 9. Aug 2009 17:35

I vote for Pheidole queen... could be Solenopsis as well IMO the pics are not close up enough to be sure.

Ant Queen don't know of course
