I collected my first queen ants in May 2020 and have kept a total of 5 ant species so far. My heated “lab” has had many types of invertebrates over the years, and I am always trying to find ways to care for them better. I am planning a future career in biology. Stay tuned for my Tetramorium, Camponotus, Formica, and Lasius journals which I will be creating shortly.

Welcome!  I think you'll find there are many helpful and experienced members on this site.  They definitely helped me when I was first starting.  Good luck with your colonies, I look forward to seeing the journals.

Welcome to the forum! This forum can use some more journals. Also it's good to see more Canadian ant keepers on this forum!
