This should be pinned by a moderator! One of the best posts in a while.

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).

I dunno how I didn't notice this sooner, but this is great! Love the fact that I'm right at the top of the list  :lol: 

Also, you can remove the Pheidole tysoni and Lasius aphidicola journals from my index, or at least specify that they're discontinued. Thanks!

I like leafcutter ants. Watch The Ultimate Guide to Fungus Growing Ants:

This video took like over 100 hours of work, you should for sure watch it.

We also could help by just putting everything we have on a comment and sorting it like me putting all my journals and links into ones comment and naming them all for tech to copy and paste.

Also, thanks TechAnt for all the effort you've put here! Actually, mind if I transfer all these links to my server? A journal directory there would look nice.

This is a great project. I'm putting it in my status as well. One small correction for my entry: My journal is on both Novomessor cockerelli and Veromessor pergandei and you misspelled Novomessor cockerelli.
