I don't know enough about Myrmica to help you, but only press the post button once, please. Pressing multiple times creates multiple posts.

Myrmica do not inbreed to my knowledge. The alates would simply die off without mating.

i have heard that they can mate on the ground though so maybe if he had a big outworld.....
