I will be attempting to breed the alates from my Aphaenogaster rudis colonies, as they mate on the ground. I will get pics of this happening. I will be introducing males and females from my different colonies and put them into a small tank. Hopefully this will succeed, so I can start some new colonies, and we'll the rest.

Please let us know your techniques if successful so we can try on our own colonies. Thanks!

Will do! I am collecting the second and third colonies today, so I will definitely document my processes here!

I found a few males in a colony under a rock, and put them and a single queen from my colony into a box. I put that box in a dark cabinet for about an hour. When I came back, the queen is missing 2 wings, and one males looks to be dying! I will put some more queens in and repeat. I will set the queens up in a test tube and wait for workers.
