I found a good sized colony of these yellow crazy ants in a hickory nut. They have around 50 workers and some brood.

They have moved safely into a test tube. There are actually closer to 40 workers and 60 larvae, 5 pupae and some eggs. :)

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).

Probably a trophic egg which did not get eaten.

Still doing good. :) They love sugar water. The brood pile has actually grown quite a bit. :D
