[Diesel]

Camponotus noveboracensis (queen +11 workers)dozen or so pupae and 40 + eggs n larvae

[FSTP]

Queens w/brood or nanitics

 

Dorymyrmex bicolor x 6

 

Dorymyrmex insanus x 2

 

Single Queen colonies

 

Solenopsis molesta w/ approx. 50-60 workers

 

Aphaenogaster occidentallis w/ 5 workers

 

Prenelopis imparis w/ 6 workers 

 

Lasius niger w/ aproxx. 20-25 workers

 

 

 

So far everything is in test tubes. I'm hoping soon I can move something into one of the formicarium I've been building. I think the L. niger is closest to the number of workers I'd feel comfortable with moving into a formicarium.
