Pros:

Obtained several Formica sp
Finally getting a parasitic lasius queen
Getting a Lasius americanus colony
Getting Myrmica
Getting Leptothorax colonies
Collected several Ponera colonies
Collected a Pheidole colony
Got Pogonomyrmex occidentalis to nanitics
Made a container for springtails that isn't half bad
Got my sister into antkeeping more or less
Cons:
The Myrmecocystus navajo queen died 
had low founding rates
Lost at least 40 founding queens in one day due to overheating(10 queens of 2 Parasitic formica sp, 1 queen of a lasius sp
1 Camponotus modoc queen, 20-30 myrmica queens, 2 Pheidole queens, 5 Pogonomyrmex occidentalis queens, 5 normal formica queens, 1 leptothorax queen)
I forget the rest
