  • Colobopsis spp.
  • Crematogaster spp.
  • Rarely Cyphomyrmex rimosus
  • Formica spp.
  • Hypoponera spp.

It can get pretty cold during the winter, so yes, most species, with the exception of a few, need hibernation.

Same could be said for most Southern states too. Examples of ants that don't hibernate: Tetramorium immagrans, Solenopsis invicta, Tapinoma sessile, ect. Most invasives from warmer countries won't need to hibernate.

Tetramorium benefit from hibernation and so does their ant-keeper. They get a break from the insanity for a few months!

It might just be here in the South, because I see Tapinoma active and growing as late as December.
