Any succesful keeping of Acanthomyrmex Glabfemoralis? Looks like seed eating species likes higher temperature from Asia.

Very likely that people had successfully raised a colony of Acanthomyrmex in captivity, but doubt anyone recorded it and put it on the internet

I think Leo kept them. He hasn't posted for a while, but was active a week ago.

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).
