I have a mini-hearth from eBay that was sold as Tarheel Ants, but it’s very different from the current designs. I’ve raised three big colonies in it successfully, though, so whatever.

If you can’t beat your invasives, keep ‘em! Please figure out a way to move far away from California, though. That should be part of your life plan.

Well, interestingly, Pheidole megacephala stop almost all brood production in the winter.

They are a tropical species, they do not stop. Slow down in your area maybe, but they cannot survive stopping brood production.

I deleted the journal. Seeing that 5 people voted 1 or 2 stars, that no one wanted this to exist or at least wasn't a very interesting journal that has any benefit being on the forums.

This just turns into spam.

If I didn't delete it, people would keep downvoting the thread. That means they don't want it to exist anyway

 

And people can still downvote, but at least they'd downvote an empty thread instead of a thread work was put into it. Obviously they didn't want this journal to exist.

So you had a thread that some people didn't like, and your solution was to turn it into something that nobody likes? Sounds logical.

Well like I said in chat last night, after my experience with discord the other day, don't think gonna be talking about invasive ants again. That was mostly the actual reason, and then no one liking a thread about having invasive ants made me delete it. Either way, I'll just leave it at that since we already went over it in chat.
