That's just you being an influence on your siblings like me XD


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Currently kept ant species, favorites have a star in front of their names (NOT in alphabetical order, also may be outdated sometimes): ★ Camponotus irritans inferior, ★ Ooceraea biroi, Pheidole parva, ★ Nylanderia sp., ★ Paraparatrechina tapinomoides, Platythyrea sp., Anochetus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.

If Idontexist ever comes back to this thread, I hope he does listen to the advice because he could probably become a awsome antkeeper.

LOL same here… being an antkeeper somehow has its benefits. I like influencing people with scientific names for some reason.

Its the same with my brother he can name at least thirty ant genus.Although he calls the genus Atta Attamyrmex which is kind of funny because its a mix of Atta and Acromyrmex but that is the only ant genus he gets wrong.

I understand that Idontexist is being rude, but please keep your thoughts about Idontexist to yourselves. This isn't even a journal anymore, its just filled with people being very disrespectful to Idontexist.

To be honest it's sad that this journal isn't getting the effort like owners from other journals to become seen. This journal is basically now just do controversial things, say rude things, and that's how you get a journal to almost 8,000 likes which is getting close to pass some of the journals with people who put incredible amounts of effort into their work like Stuyeo and ANTdrew. Please guys... just don't comment anymore until Idontexist comes back as to let newer topics to flourish that deserve to get likes and views and not get them easily like this journal.

DId any of you even consider Nicholas's point? Or are we going to start fooling around again and packing this thread with useless stuff. I mean seriously, Idontexist probably doesn't even come on anymore, yet we're still talking about what he did in the past. We have gained nothing from this.

A mod should lock this thread or move it to the sandbox. I still think I should be a mod.

I'd say move it to the sandbox, a bit of discussion is ok but I do think everyone's just repeating themselves.

This isn't a journal anymore and yet it's still in here. Can't we discuss somewhere else?

Please click the post button only once next time. Nice catch, but we actually don’t know what it is. I assume you’re guessing it’s an Acromyrmex queen since you gave it leaves and said that it’s not Atta, but it’s not an Acromyrmex. It kinda looks like a Colobopsis or Camponotus queen.
