No new ant care sheets have been posted since last year, despite the fact that there are still a lot of notable ants not represented there. I can think of Myrmica, Pogonomyrmex, Temnothorax, Trachymyrmex, Myrmecia, Rhytidoponera, Ponera, Iridomyrmex, and Pheidole right off the top of my head.

I know I wrote two and sent them to Drew, one on Trachymyrmex septentrionalis and the other on Strumigenys louisianae. He said he'd look over them but they still have yet to show up.


Currently Keeping:

 

Camponotus chromaiodes, Camponotus nearcticus, Stigmatomma pallipes, Strumigenys brevisetosa, Strumigenys clypeata, Strumigenys louisianae, Strumigenys membranifera, Strumigenys reflexa, Strumigenys rostrata

I agree, I wanted to look into the North American counterpart of Formica Fusca and found nothing! Let alone most of the European species of ant! Someone needs to start the antcare sheets up again!

Maybe I can find someone to look them over and research and edit if necessary, but I don't have the time right now to do it myself.

I think s dimple thing we can do to improve the ant care sheets is add pictures of the species and make a specific album of pictures for the antcaresheets only

True that. I do think that journals should be linked in the care sheets though.

Good idea! And the ant care sheets should diversify
