I am excited to announce that I finally got my hands on some Nylanderia! For awhile I have known there were Nylanderia in my yard but yesterday I finally got some when they staged a nupital flight, I waited for 30 minutes to get a single queen that I knew mated I also collected one that I wasn't sue mated. I then went inside to eat dinner after dinner I went back outside and got 5 mated queens! After that I identified them as Nylanderia terricola.They currently are in a a single test tube and they will hopefully found.
