Caught her in India they were flying about two days before I caught her on 17th May. Living in a humid tropical area, she's about 5 mm and laid a dozen eggs or so within a week. She has a reddish hue all over and still has her wings attached. She's too tiny for my camera to properly capture her.

Pheidole sp.

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).
