Looking for more Formica parasites

Formica of any kind would be super cool to find.

[TennesseeAnts]

I want Camponotus castaneus, Neivamyrmex nigrescens, Pogonomyrmex badius, Camponotus decipiens, Formica obscuriventris, Formica subsericea (again), Formica incerta, Myrmica incompleta (again), Formica dolosa, Solenopsis xyloni. I'll think of a few more.

Goo luck raising neivamyrmex. If you do manage to catch some, it would be amazing if they survived

They're extremely common here. Hard to walk through the woods without finding trails. Found a colony earlier this year, but couldn't locate the queen.

Interesting

I would loooooovvvvvveeeee to have pheidole hyatti.

[ponerinecat]

Speak of the devil, just saw them raidign some termites today.

[Kaelwizard]

Any Lasius, Pheidole, or Formica species I can find. Myrmica would be nice too. The thing about Formica though is that mine always die after one day. The first time I had one I accidentally left it outside baking in the sun. The one I had this year just died for no reason. It didn’t have wings so I think it what fertile too.

[Kaelwizard]

Nice, Lasius is a really easy species, just a tad small in my opinion

I like Lasius because of them being small. I have a queen less colony Lasius aphidicola. That’s at least what the queen that two of the workers brutally murdered in their confusion was.

[B_rad0806]

Any Camponotus, any Myrmecocystus, Acromyrmex Versicolor, any Pogonomyrmex, Novomessor Cockerelli

little bit of advice: if they're common, collect as many. They have been used to collect complete nests of soil nesting species, as workers poured into the nest entrance can trigger a complete evacuation.

It’s quite possible I’ll be in Mississippi for at least the latter part of it, so I might try some ponerine or cryptic species down there.

tell us what you find

[treehunned]

Any Camponotus 

[ponerinecat]

any cryptic species and pseudomyrmex

[Antennal_Scrobe]

I actually would just really like to keep Pheidole. Perhaps in one of those Antstore formicaria with the artificial digging medium. I hope I can find some on the beach at Doctor's Park.

[Nanahira]

1000+ Pogonomyrmex Californicus queens.

I would appreciate some parasitic Lasius and Formica, and Crematogaster.
