  1. queens can fly? have u seen it fly? Or  it can be a devloping queen


  2. it could be a queen or a female that got kicked out of the colony

  3. Pregnant or just fat?

  4. Pregnant ant?

  5. Lol, yes I believe so =]

  6. fat ***!

  7. maybe its been drinking too much beer

  8. thats crazy, i would never notice anything like that. probably just fat.

  9. Usually the entire ant in addition to the abdomen is larger than the rest of the ants in the colony.  But the abdomen is the most notable.  If it has already shed its wings, it has been fertilized and is ready to begin a new colony.  If you wanted an ant farm, all you need now is the plastic case and sand.

  10. maybe she went to dinner with her husband and she is full...lol i dont know
