Hey everyone!

 

I recently accepted a position at Colonial Williamsburg located in Williamsburg, Virginia to be the Integrated Pest Management Specialist.  I will be arriving after the new year.  I will therefore be leaving my Tennessee Department of Agriculture position.  I am looking forward to the challenges of working with the arborists, horticulturalists and others at this unique 18th century living museum.  I am also looking forward to all the ants and other insects.  Any of you who may be visiting Colonial Williamsburg do not hesitate on reaching out for a visit.  I always enjoy sharing and teaching.  If you are a Virginian ant keeper, please reach out to me as I would love to meet with fellow ant enthusiasts.

 

Caio!

Gary

Welcome to the Old Dominion, my friend. We’ll be sure to make it down there soon. I hope you find us more Trachymyrmex down south.

I will be moving to Virginia on the 28th of December.   Fortunately we found a unit right across from Williams and Mary and walking distance to Colonial Williamsburg.  Job officially starts 1/2/2024!

What a lovely neighborhood! Godspeed, my friend! Let me know if/ when you find Trachymyrmex.
