As of the time I returned from vacation, many of my most prized and healthy colonies have perished; including that of both F. pallidefulva colonies, my two C. cerasi colonies, my B. depilis (she had no eggs anyways) as well as my C. nearcticus colony. RIP to them... All hope is not lost though as all my large colonies have survived and I have got new queen like F. subsericea and L. neoniger! Can't wait to see them grow!

Can ants become massive on the moon because of low gravity?

    I feel like naturally, no, just because they don't have the genetics to become that size. But maybe, with some CRISPR technology, we could gene-edit their size-control and growth-control genes to make 'em get huge. And, of course, the moon's gravity would help with that, so they can actually grow that size without killing themselves.

Am I the only one who feels Solenopsis molesta is underrated?

    I feel like they are because they are living in ant bait traps that were meant to kill them where I am lol (I did not set them up)

    Probably because they're common. It's hard to appreciate something if you see it everywhere and every day. (I deleted this comment 3 times because I kept on messing up the grammar. lol)

    I'd want any solenopsis that I could catch. I bet it would be especially cool to watch all the little guys swarm :)
