Solenopsis, invicta or xyloni Go to the full post
Sweet! Thanks for the ID!
probably should buy a bigger nest already haha
Solenopsis xyloni or invicta most likley invicta cause they found in only in socal
What i am keeping Brachymyrmex patagonicus 1 worker x5 tetramorium immigrans 10 workers x2 lasius crypticus 5 workers Pheidole californica 6 queens150~ workers 10-30 majors, Formica argentea 10~ W
What I've kept crematogaster sp pheidole californica camponotus vicinus high elev, dumetorum,laevigatus, prenolepis imparis, pogonomyrmex californicus and subnitidus and californicus, veromessor andrei, camponotus sayi, hypoponera opacior ,Liometopum occidentale solnopsis molesta group, solenopsis xyloni.
Sadly it is illegal to keep Solenopsis invicta in California so unless you would like a heavy fine then I suggest disposing of it via freezer.
Nothing sad about it in my opinion
