Hello, long time no see, I have a very sad update. My Myrmica colony is likely moribund. Since they had their very big escape something must've been wrong with their watering system but they managed to hang on so well that I haven't noticed that, and it seems that this year's summer heats have exacerbated that to  the point where their numbers have dropped sharply and not many ants remain. I will attempt to perform an extraction into a smaller nest of the ants that remain via aspirator and cooling them, but I do not have high hopes.

 

Formica and Camponotus are fine, thankfully.
