This’ll be a general journal for all my ants, I’ll post some pictures of some of my current ants but I don’t have new pictures of a lot of them. I only have a few recent pictures of my Crematogaster lineolata, Camponotus pennsylvanicus, and Aphaenogaster rudis. Idk what happened to the quality of the lin photo but as you can see they’re ants.

I had 1 claviger queen with around 300-500 claviger hosts but they ripped the Queen apart randomly, anyways I'm doing some aphidicola introductions right now so that might go well. I caught some more ants too so here's an updated species list:

 

Pheidole pilifera (15+ worker colony)

Formica Montana (3q 100+ worker colony)

Novomessor albisetosus (50-150w colony)

Camponotus pennsylvanicus (70-200w colony)

Camponotus americanus (2 worker colony)

Temnothorax texanus (8-15 worker colony)

Aphaenogaster tennesseensis (queen with bio brood and 20-50 hosts)

 

I might actually post pictures this time instead of procrastinating

[BDantsalberta]

Please do!

Finally decided to stop neglecting my pennsylvanicus, the pilifera also got a new generation of about 20 workers.

 

This isn’t the whole pilifera brood pile, it’s just the brood and callows they had above the heat cable.

C. americanus doin' good
