Been seeing ants around the last week or are these termites?

Whenever I try to just swat them away they try to come back to exactly the same place they were in the same direction? It’s so frustrating when I’m sitting on the sidewalk and I don’t want to kill them in their own habitat but THEY KEEP COMING AT ME (I’ve figured out to just swat them in different directions until they go away from me lol)

hello,

What is the weight of a worker and queen ant in the largest ant species?

how many species are there where a worker ant weighs 50 milligrams or more?

Thank you

My new colony of messor barbarus doesn't eat so much, they're always scared and the queen often eat is eggs; can somebody help me?

I found an ant I believe is a queen. what species is it?

I flipped a larger rock and found quite a few reddish ants and was wondering what they were fire ants should be under ground no, sorry for the horrible Pic she's in a Mason jar I believe it's a queen it's about 3 times larger than all the others.

A couple of days ago I cleared out a spot to plant some sunflowers, everything was going well until I decided to grab the bag of topsoil I had sitting outside since last fall. I dumped the soil and wrecked a bunch of ant's day. They were freaking out since now the eggs and pupae are out in the open.

After watching in amazement for a while (didn't see a queen), I thought I'd try to get them interested in the dead tree next to the garden area I made, so I raked a bunch of the soil near there. I went back today and they seem to be interested in the log, but a lot still seem to be in the topsoil area.

Does anyone know how long a colony about the size of your average topsoil bag would take to move? (They're little black ants in central Ohio, if that makes a difference) Will they actually move or just spread out to the log and reestablish themselves in the dirt at the same time?

Those little creatures certainly are so fascinating to watch. I really don't want to have to do anything drastic, especially if I can get them to leave on their own.

I’m having quite a hard to knowing where and when to look for any queens in Regina or around Regina I’m new to ant keeping and would love to get into it. Any help would be very appreciated.

I found these fellas around some ants carrying a small white larvae. Are they harmful?

The bait has been out for five days. If it is helpful, I live in central New York State

This is so random, but back in 2015 I was in Arusha, Tanzania with my then boyfriend. Walking back to the place we were staying, we looked down at the ground and noticed a small portion of the path was dug out like a trench, creating walking tunnel for ants. As we looked closer… there were hundreds of smaller ants being funneled through the trench carrying pieces of leaves and dirt, and there were larger ants holding sticks almost like whipping the sticks to keep the smaller ones working. It was one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen in nature and I lost the video I took of it.

Has anyone else ever seen anything like this? Do you know what kind of ants we saw?

Found in Australia NSW What r they if you know please tell me
