Me tired. Looked a long time today for the Trap Jaw. I found approx. one colony per hour. Strange ants. Sometimes I would find just one sitting under a rock. Then, three, just sitting together under a rock. Sometimes just two ants. No holes or any other places to hide or places/holes to escape too under the rock. Free spirit ants! I don't think they are so 'soldier' like as most other ants are. I think they are more individualistic. But I did see a colony that had maybe 50 ants in the colony. I haven't done allot of research on them. I haven't focused on ants real hard. All arthros are interesting to me. Well, I think I have found two queens. Thorax seems high in these two. Let me know if I'm off about this stuff. I'm not going by knowledge, just kind of going by my common sense. The wings worked by the muscles are there so just makes sense that the thorax would be bigger. The two ants I think are queens are a little bigger too. I've heard of 'drones' too but I can't remember what purpose they serve(?). I think I'll put them in my trop terr. Think the colony will produce more queens, or produce at all? I'm going to put them in the terr right now. Nice to find out they are not rare around here. I was a little concerned about that, but not anymore. A little hard to find, but not rare. Maybe I have seen these before and wrote them off as wood ants.
