Hello Alex,

I can't make out what type of ant that is from the photo.  Please send me some so I can ID them for you.  

To preserve and protect fragile specimens, it’s always best to submit insects in a small leak proof vial filled with rubbing alcohol or vinegar (the postal service prefers you send them in vinegar). Place the vial in a small zip-lock baggie, then in a small box or mailing tube and mail to

Plant and Pest Diagnostics
578 Wilson Rd.
East Lansing MI 48824-6469

Be sure to include a note with your contact information including your email address.

You can download one of our submittal forms here.

We have a cart near the main entrance of the CIPS building where you can drop off your specimens if you like.

Here is where we are located…https://www.canr.msu.edu/pestid/location
