Hello!

I’m new to ant keeping. I started last summer in Arizona and got to experience keeping leafcutter ants. Sadly had to get rid of them because of my move to Ohio. I’m now in Ohio for good and ready this summer to start my ant collection again. I’ve got about 15 Tetramorium queens from the nuptial flights last weekend and I was lucky to find one Camponotus Pennsylvanicus. I’m looking forward to being active on here and learning from you all about these new species that I’m caring for! Thanks!

Welcome to the forum!

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).
