This thread will be a list of each species I'm currently keeping and have links to their species specific threads. This will help me to keep everything organized and so I don't lose a thread. Please feel free to post in here or the species threads to give advice or suggestions or simply to be excited about them with me!

 

Note: The Eggs, Larva, Pupa, Nanitics dates are not necessarily the exact date the first arrived. Instead it is when I first notice them. Out of fear of disturbing the Queens too much during founding stage I don't check them daily but instead in spells throughout the founding stage.

 

I'll link species threads as I get the threads made.

 

Lots of failures. I fail at ant keeping.

Thank you!

Updated a few a lot lately so just giving a little bump. E-2 the impressa gave me some trouble, silly girl. I finally added Solenopsis invicta at last even though they were my first. Pheidole navigans are quickly becoming one of my favorite species simply because they're so darn tiny and so darn cute but I fear they'll be hard to care for because of their size. Pheidole Floridana got their first workers and they've began exploring, they're nearly or is as tiny as them navigans. My Pheidole Megacephala are eating me out of house and home. And Beyonce, the Camponotus Planatus, is still alive despite her weird episode in the beginning. Several other species should be getting their first workers soon so I'm eagerly waiting on that. Ug, I love them all!

I asked this on your  Patatrechina Longicornis thread

I thought it was spelled *Para*trenchia Longicornis?

Oh, and are they small, medium, or big?

They’re pretty small, to my knowledge.

Amazing journal!

Thank you very much. ^^ If I wasn't so tired I'd update some of them. Later though.
