Hi Harnas, welcome to the board,

you got a small colony of Solenopsis. Most possibly it is Solenopsis geminata.


Kindest regards

Hi Harnas


Looks to me like a fire ant (Solenopsis geminata or Solenopsis invicta)
Let's see what the others say but if I'm right, you shouldn't keep them, they are very invasive.

Thx for answers.
It surprised me because i think that Solenopsis live only in America.
But Solenopsis geminata is in the early stage monogyn. More queen's join to the colony when it is large enough and create a supercolony. I have a two queen's together from the beginning.

Do you have a source for that information?
As far as I know, S. geminata lives monogyn. They can found a colony in pleometrosis (with more than one queen) and kill each other except for one later.
A friend of mine who lives in Singapore tried this for several times.

Edit: Ps: Lol, just wrote "I fried" instead of "A friend"

Gaster, of course but this site is in Polish. You can translate it by google.
