A few days ago, when out checking to see if T. immigrans would be flying, I decided to flip up a few stones and see what ants I'd find. I occasionally do this to check on colonies to see when they'll have alates so I can watch for flights.
I found a massive Solenopsis molesta colony that was stealing brood from multiple species of ants. I managed to collect maybe 1/4 of the colony at most, and 4 of their queens. I caught 70 queens of this species 2 years ago and they've been on my bucket list ever since, so needless to say, I was ecstatic.
The colony I collected has at least 500 workers, probably more in the ballpark of 1,000. They've got too much brood to count 
.
Please excuse some of the poor camera work. These ants are absolutely tiny, with workers about 1mm in length.
As you can see, they also have some alate brood on the way. Probably 50-100 pieces. Like with my other current colonies, if they manage to get female and male alates, I will attempt to breed them. I don't know how succesful I will be, but I'll try nonetheless 
. This explains a lot about the species. The queens' notoriously short life spans, etc. Here is a video showing their brood and queen progress. They are really exploding. I wonder if the need for higher egg production has triggered the nest breeding that I experienced in my colony. Here is a video showing everything I captured:
. I notice that the workers will assist the male and guide him towards a queen. After that, they back off, and the male does what males do 
. Supply would probably crush demand tho, which isn't so fun
