There is a poll function you can add to your post as well.

Thanks Zeiss, how do I do the poll?

It would be in the full editor.  You'll have to edit post and choose full editor option.  I'm not too sure you can activate one once you post.

Everybody picked different colors, so you’re no closer to your answer. Lol

I think the second from the right.

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).

You should do a color reveal post.
