Do queen ants lose their wings?
Queens lose their wings shortly after mating, losing this identification characteristic. People often select a male or queen ant for identification and, all too often, the queen specimens are without wings. The following key will help identify common ants in many cases where only reproductive forms of ants with wings are present.
How are ant colonies identified?
Ant colonies were identified as monogyne by the presence of a large physogastric queen of more than 20 mg wet weight (Porter, 1992). Polygyne colonies were identified by the pres- ence of two or more inseminated queens with degenerated wing muscles (Porter, 1992).
Why are ants difficult to identify with a dichotomous key?
Their more dependable characteristics lend themselves to identification when using a dichotomous key. Reproductive forms (females and males) of ants are more difficult to identify.
What does a western thatching ant look like?
Many species of western thatching ant (Fig. 16) are bi-colored, red and black; some species can be uniformly brown or black. These large polymorphic ants (4–9 mm) possess a notch or depression on top of the thorax. Many colonies have multiple queens. Colonies usually nest in soil or in rotten logs.
