That's only half the egg pile, and an eighth of the actual brood pile.

Long live Freya!

Two years (in my care. Her colony is actually closer to 3 years. I found her and her nanitics in a small rotted stick) and still going strong.

Mine is two years old ( I got her off GAN, and the farmer was new, but knew what he was doing. None of that 12 week lasius stuff), so I figured I'll take her (over the subbarbatus because Pennsylvanicus), and she's a amazing queen.

Sure she's around the healthy worker count, but she'll flourish with me (we get along way better than my Formica queen) lol

How big was it? Was it still a sapling, or a large, full grown one?

I did that too once. It was a small tree, only about 10 feet tall and about 3" in diameter. I got an Aphaenogaster lamellidens colony from it (the tree was long dead).

Yeah, I know. It was a small manzanita. Saw Pseudomyrmex for the first time and got excited.

Crematogaster lineolata (Colony #1)
2-28-20

Their over-wintered larvae have resumed growth, with some being pupae already. They have a huge appetite, and are working on a few large mealworms right now.

Crematogaster lineolata (Colony #2)
2-28-20

I found this new queen inside of a small stick in the woods. I will update on her when she lays eggs.

Lasius queen (Colony #1)

Oh well. She's dead.
