Hey all! Looking for colonies to adopt here in Colorado. Especially looking for camponotus, but would like to know what's out there.  I know so many of us kind of shut down this time of year, but I've got a lot of time right now, and I'm able to get some set ups going.

An active fellow Coloradan! Hello!  Glad to see you on the server.  I will PM you about my findings and maybe we can setup trades/etc.

I had a Dorymyrmex insanus colony I would have been willing to sell, but their test tube got moldy and they wouldn’t move to a fresh one no matter what I tried, so most of the workers died. I’ll be sure to PM you if I put anything up for sale though

1 Tetramorium immigrans colony-20 workers

1 Dorymyrmex insanus- 1 queen, used to have workers

 

1 large P. occidentalis colony- around 50 workers, plenty of brood

Yup. It’s almost like they want to die of a mold outbreak. Either that or they think they’re fungus growers.
