Good luck. I’ll be interested in those Pheidole if they get workers. Love how Virginia is one of the most active states now.

Yeah, what is the most active state using the forum.

I’d guess:
1: California
2: Virginia
3: Wisconsin (maybe, I just see the Wisconsin anting thread as really active now)
4: South Dakota

Oh, sorry KitsAntVa for taking your thread a little off-topic.

Richmond has a warmer climate and sandier soil. They must be more prevalent down there.
