Hey all, just joined the forum.  I'm coming up on a year into my ant-keeping journey with 2 young C. Pennsylvanicus colonies out of diapause in THA mini hearths and 3 Lasius sp. queens w/fresh eggs in tubes.

The great cheese state! welcome!


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

Thanks for the tip! I'll keep my eye out after work if the weather cooperates.
