So today I was in Colorado springs and i was at this amazing place called Quail lake park and found a small colony of Crematogaster(sorry if spelled wrong) I found 2 spp it has about 20 workers and one queen, it was the best place I've ever gone to, it had Myrmecocystus, Lasius, Dorymyrmex, Camponotus, Formica, Tetramorium, Monomorium(lots of them), and Pheidole. that's all i saw at least. here are some crappy pics:

Young ant keeper with a decent amount of knowledge on local ant species.

YouTube: https://m.youtube.co...uKsahGliSH7EqOQ (It's pretty dead. Might upload again soon, don't expect my voice to sound the same though.)

Currently kept ant species, favorites have a star in front of their names (NOT in alphabetical order, also may be outdated sometimes): ★ Camponotus irritans inferior, ★ Ooceraea biroi, Pheidole parva, ★ Nylanderia sp., ★ Paraparatrechina tapinomoides, Platythyrea sp., Anochetus sp., Colobopsis sp. (cylindrica group), ★ Crematogaster ferrarii, Polyrhachis (Myrma) cf. pruinosa, Polyrhachis (Cyrtomyrma) laevissima, Tapinoma sp. (formerly Zatapinoma)

Death count: Probably over a hundred individual queens and colonies by now. I cannot recall whatsoever.
