Nother one, huh?
I feel like it'd be simpler to do entire tribes instead of any genus that comes up.
For example tetramorium and temnothorax both fit into crematogastrini.

Don't forget Crematogaster..........Nother one, huh?

blacklight is one way.
Ants I have: Tapinoma sessile(2 queen colony). RED MORPH Camponotus neacticus(now has pupae!), Tetramorium immigrans (x3), Aphaenogaster sp, Temnothorax sp, Brachymyrmex sp. possibly infertile 
, Ponera pennsylvanica, and Pheidole morrisi! 
Other insects: Polistes sp. Queen
Ants I need: Pheidole sp., Trachymyrmex sp., Crematogaster cerasi , Dorymyrmex sp. Most wanted: Pheidole morrisii

What about finding colonies? I have queens but they aren't the type I was hoping for.

Go to a wooded area and break open large twigs and sticks. They also nest in acorns and hickory nuts.What about finding colonies? I have queens but they aren't the type I was hoping for.

I went to a wooded area with oaks and there were no acorns but then I saw someone post they found a queen there when I got home.

Were there hollow twigs? That’s where I found my Temnothorax longispinosus, though you won’t find those as they are an eastern species.I went to a wooded area with oaks and there were no acorns but then I saw someone post they found a queen there when I got home.

Probably. What are the odd of finding a colony by cracking random twigs though?

TarantulaForum has subforums for some popular genera like Avicularia and Brachypelma.Nother one, huh?

But if care among the ant genera is extremely similar for most crematogastrini, why bother while clogging up the forums? Tarantulas are very sensitive animals and I doubt care for one genus is adequate for another.

I found my now dead queens under a stone, under a tree. But that is a terrestrial sp, so I don't know much about finding arboreal ones.
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).

Tarantulas are hardly sensitive. Most New World genera barely need anything other than a hide, substrate, food, water, and maybe some misting occasionally. Sorry for getting off topic but I would just like to point that out because I keep some.But if care among the ant genera is extremely similar for most crematogastrini, why bother while clogging up the forums?

Ah, I see. I still think all these genus level threads are rather unnecessary.

Maybe they are. Since some people may not be familiar with tribes (like me before I found out what that was this year) we should do families, like Formicinae and Myrmicinae?Ah, I see. I still think all these genus level threads are rather unnecessary.

Subfamilies btw, all of ants is the family formicidae. And nah, subfamilies are often either too diverse or too niche.

Oh my mistake, and now that I think about it, yeah they are too diverse.Subfamilies btw, all of ants is the family formicidae. And nah, subfamilies are often either too diverse or too niche.
