One of my friends and I have been scouting out a few parks we found one park that had over 5 Pogonomyrmex Californicus Concolor colonies, and one Veromessor Andrei colony. We have been coming to this park ever since and we found no queens... until 7/19/21. Him and I walked home with an estimated 50-60 Pogonomyrmex queens each. 

 

 

 

Oh and has anyone caught Rugosus lately?

This summer season is already turning out to be just as bad as last year. The rain just hates CA.

Considering you need a permit to go to a different state to collect, it's kind of redundant (for the majority) to mention Kingsman, AZ. Also, are you from Ca, Az, or Nv; I'm a little confused why you talk in a California anting thread and made a Nevada anting thread, sorry.

So I finally arrived here a couple days ago. I have to say I didn’t realize just how prevalent Argentines are. I have a whole supercolony on my property and I haven’t seen one native species yet.
Edit: double post

Did you move here?

Yep.

 

by poway you mean the san diego area right?

Yeah, many people in Poway have a San Diego address, but I don't so I just put Poway as my location.

Not sure what you’re going through, but life will get better. Cycles of good times and bad.

Clearly I’m in Nevada if you read two sentences out the thread, its very apparent and absolutely zero hidden about it. So that little low key accusation you’re implying by asking which state I’m in; c’mon man. <slaps forehead> smh <and now… SportsCenter’s Not Top 10 this week>

Secondly; I spoke of Needles (SoCal), Lake Havasu, Kingsman… the whole area right there where the 3 borders sit got hit hard with red that sat over it for hours.

Was pointing it out to help esp since Mojave on Cali side has been dry this season.

Whatever you’re going through; you have to control your own self and emotions instead of projecting it onto others. You don’t try to condescend on someone for trying to throw pointers to help; usually its not normal for a person to take a free water bottle then try to splash the water on the giver (in your case, you missed cause my BS radar is 10/10).

Your social EQ and intention is quite suspect and shows a lot of your internal struggles. Don’t worry bud, things will get better for you, I promise.

As far as this thread, since it seems to trigger you so much; I’ll go back to lurk mode… but energy is neither created nor destroyed, so you’ll just end up trying to transfer your negative energy to someone or something else.

Best of luck to you…

I don’t know why you reacted like that. Their response wasn’t rude at all, they were just confused by your post. They even said sorry. I also don’t know why you would accuse them of having something going on. As far as I have seen, ReignofRage hasn’t been rude to anyone and has also been quite helpful. I also don't see how they even projected their emotions into their post. There was nothing that implied they were jealous or angry. I also saw your post in the Nevada thread; it disappoints me to see a member insult another with no actual reason to do so (even if there was an actual reason, it would still be unprofessional).

Agreed, that's definitely a huge jump to conclusions and also pretty rude in my opinion.

Sorry at the end of a sentence?

 

The implication behind that question of what state I am in when I clearly started a Nevada thread with plenty of background info on exactly where I am at in Nevada.

 

Yeah... I don't buy that "confusion" part at all.

 

But whatevs...

Sometimes things should just be taken at face value, not everything has some sort of subliminal message or deeper thought or ulterior motive. It sounds like you need to chill my dude.

Edit: Should also mention that the confusion is perfectly reasonable, don't expect anyone to read all of your content. Sure you could call it lazy when the answer is already posted but it saves everyone's time to just answer the question and move on.

I guess I'll adress this by each section of your reply.

 

1. I'm not going through anything, don't know where you got that from.

 

2. As I had said, I was confused. So I asked for clarification, I wasn't accusing you of anything. I even said sorry in reference for my confusion.

 

3. At the time of checking the rain that had fallen in Kingsman, Az it was not over the border, it was pretty centalized over the city.

 

4. The Mojave was dry in winter and spring, but has been getting rain for quite a while now.

 

5. Again, I'm not going through anything and wasn't projecting with emotion . It's quite funny how you go immediately to saying I have issues instead of just simply answering the quetion that was asking for clarification.

 

6. My ability to control my emotion is at a quite normal level, I don't know why you keep coming at this with the look of me not having integrity emotionally. And again, I'm not dealing with anything.

 

7. It never triggered me that you talk in this thread, my intention was to never shame you or question your validity. 

 

And as for this:

 

Sorry at the end of a sentence?

 

The implication behind that question of what state I am in when I clearly started a Nevada thread with plenty of background info on exactly where I am at in Nevada.

 

Yeah... I don't buy that "confusion" part at all.

 

But whatevs... 

 

I was genuinly confused since you were talking about rain in California and Arizona and whether to drive or not, but are in Nevada. Sorry again for being confused like a normal human.

[MojaveAnts]

Agreed. BUT... also, sometimes things should NOT be taken at face value. Not everything, but some things.

 

I feel like you are only looking from one point of view.

 

I chimed in this thread about diff stuff I see on doppler, mainly in SoCal. I chimed in the last time and mentioned Kingsman, AZ along with others as a general reference to an area and get that.

 

Also; sure it's reasonable to be confused. On the flip side; it's also one's responsibility to make sure they communicate clearly. In general person's lack of manners (or how they come across) isn't the fault of other people; it is a fault of their own even if they don't mean to.

 

Anywho.. gonna drop from this forum a bit. GL folks...

Sounds like you're just looking for something to lash out at ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[MojaveAnts]

That's CAP. It wasn't "just" over that city; there was plenty of red on that front on the Cali side. I got screen recordings of it. But like I said.. I'm dropping from here for a bit.
