So I just bought some ants from YsTheAnt and I figured I might as well start a journal. So going in no particular order here they are.
Prenolepis impairs:
I purchased four of these gals, and have put two of them together, and after a day they seem to be getting along, although I will definitely be updating on them, other than that, none have pupae, and they all have about three eggs.
Camponotus semitestaceus
Absolutely massive queen with large eggs, not much to say
Dorymyrmex bicolor
The smallest queen I have ever seen, one larvae, nothing else of note

I checked in on my colonies this morning to see they all had a new batch of eggs, some looked like they had more than ten!

Nice job!
Hi there! I went on a 6 month or so hiatus, in part due, and in part cause of the death of my colonies.
However, I went back to the Sierras, and restarted my collection, which is now as follows:
Aphaenogaster uinta, Camponotus vicinus, Camponotus modoc, Formica cf. aserva, Formica cf. micropthalma, Formica cf. manni, Formica subpolita, Formica cf. subaenescens, Lasius americanus, Manica invidia, Pogonomyrmex salinus, Pogonomyrmex sp. 1, Solenopsis validiuscula, & Solenopsis sp. 3 (new Sierra variant).

Update 5/26/19
Was out on a walk with my family, bleh, when I found a colony of Liometopum occidentale, aka Velvety Tree Ants, I estimate there to be about 500-1000 workers.

Liometopum need to be fed very often, at least in Drew’s experience. They get colonies in the ten thousands of workers.
