In terms of profile pics, I have had similar profile pics(my guinea pigs) for a year.

 

 

In terms of the website, keep up the good work.

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).

I could sell my Crematogaster-proof outworlds on your site. No Crematogaster have been able to escape them in months. I would charge around $75.

That sounds good!  I am in charge of editing and designing the visual aspect of the website. I am putting in 30-60 min. a day on that, so progress is rapid. If you have any ant pictures you want to share with us, I would appreciate it! I will include an image credit!

I have a crematogaster colony picture not Cersei but they are basically just smaller. I’ll send those later.

Thanks! I will probably use some of those! We need all the help we can get, so i appreciate it. It might be easier if you put the pictures on the gallery, as i am on there a lot retrieving pictures.
