Hey everyone. My name is Chris. Just joined thanks to a friend of mine from antscanada sending me this way. Really love the site from what I've seen so far. Recently got into ant keeping thanks to antscanada's YouTube channel, and I'm really excited to start this journey. Been studying ants for a while, and loved watching them as a kid. So, time to take the next step.

I look forward to talking.

"If an ant carries an object a hundred times it's weight,you can carry burdens many times your size.

Welcome! If you ever need help, we will be eager to lend a helping hand if we can.

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Currently kept ant species, favorites have a star in front of their names (NOT in alphabetical order, also may be outdated sometimes): ★ Camponotus irritans inferior, ★ Ooceraea biroi, Pheidole parva, ★ Nylanderia sp., ★ Paraparatrechina tapinomoides, Platythyrea sp., Anochetus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