well, that would work too. I think the other is complicated, so here is fine, like you have been doing.

Where has the other AntsDakota been?

The other AntsDakota has been busy. I guess we sort of just switched off, as he has been keeping up the South Dakota side of things by himself, when I was busy, so now i am doing it for him. He is still into ants, though. Thanks for all the questions!

I think he means that because it’s not only about stuff there it would be better to change the name to antsusa

Oh. Well, we are about things all over the us right now, but i think we will keep the AntsDakota name. I mean, It is just a name. Plus, we already have a logo.

Quick update on the website. I am getting finished with the largest section of the wiki, the C section. Not enough pictures yet, but we do have a lot. The main page has also been revised, and looks much better.

Finished the ant species f database, although it needs to be expanded. If anyone wants to help write formica pages, just tell me.

UPDATE!! 9/22/20

Worked extensively on the pictures for the wiki. We now have almost all of them up through F done. We need more article writers, as AntsDakota, our usual article writer, is really busy. Our structure is simple. A paragraph on Introduction, Identification on how to identify the species, and Natural habitat on where they live and nest facts. Include sources in standard format. Any species in formica or after in the alphabet are needed. Include pictures if you have any. I will include your name as an article writer. If anyone can help us with this, the website will be out much faster! Thanks!
