I never realized how pale those queens were.
So, what is on the menu? The larvae seem to be enjoying it.

Wow! I'm so glad they are doing well! The ones I have in dirt setups are reproducing very quickly. I'll keep an eye out on this thread. I'm curious as to how they'll do in the future. :-)

Cool, I'm wondering the same about the Pogonomyrmex. 
I hope you make a journal.

The Pogonomyrmex's are doing just fine. Actually they've got more eggs and pupae now. Man I'm so happy with these Pogonomyrmex's! Yeah I'm gonna get started on both journals today.

Update 12-25-2013
One colony now has seven workers, and the other has eight. The colony with eight workers is the one that had the large pupa, which is now one really large full-sized worker.

Haha. Now how can you be sure that it is hummingbird nectar?
I think that is the first red replete I have ever seen. She looks pretty in red.

The other colony was still in just a test tube until yesterday, when I put them into the out world of a small rough prototype of a formicarium I've been in the process of designing. Now I'm just waiting for them to move into it. Today I moved them right underneath the same bright lights my Pogonomyrmex containers are under, to hopefully encourage them to move. I'll have another update once they get moved in.

Do a Christmas tree affect does anyone know if there are a similar species in Colorado
According to AntWeb, you have four species, one of which is M. mexicanus, the species these most likely are.
