Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. -Proverbs 6: 6-8

Found another Prenolepis queen today! Also saw lots of active Formica colonies, along with a couple Lasius workers.

After another cold spell, it's finally warming up! A few colonies have also woken up as well.
Here's one of (if not the) largest Lasius neoniger colony on my property.
Aren't they SO CUUUUUUUUTE?!!!
A few weeks ago I captured a couple dozen workers to use as hosts in case I found a parasitic queen. Here's their nest entrance:
Another active colony was a Formica cf. montana colony. However, I really do recommend watching the video of their superhighway here: Formica montana - Album on Imgur

And they're not dead due to a fungus (oh wait, on another note, I have L. Neoniger in my backyard as well...why is my backyard so abundant with life? If I plant native I think I'll have ANTdrew's backyard variety beat...)
There is a important time for everything, important place for everyone, an important person for everybody, and an important ant for each and every ant keeper and myrmecologist alike

It got to 80 today, and I looked for parasitic Lasius. Didn't find any, but saw LOTS more Formica and Lasius, however.
