I'm going to put up a poll. I find that polls do not post if I don't add them by editing, so hang on for a moment the poll will be up shortly.

Starting this July I'm posting videos of my ants every week on youTube.
I like to make relaxing videos that capture the joy of watching ants.
If that sounds like your kind of thing... follow me >here<.

Well, I keep Messor barbarus and they have been described by many keepers as one of the messiest (hence the name Messor!) species out there.
In can attest that they really crap all over the place, and one has to keep on top of the cleaning, especially of glass, since they spray even up the glass.
They are Pheidolini if you are asking, I do however not see them on your list, maybe because that list is again very scewed towards the New World.
I am from Germany.
Messor are from the Mediterranian.
Keeping:
3x - S. molesta (colonies and single queen) 1x - C. nearcticus (founding but no eggs) New!
1x - C. chromaiodes (colony) 1x - C. subbarbatus (founding)
1x - F. subsericea (founding) 1x - T. sessile (mega colony)
3x - P. imparis (colonies)
2x - L. neoniger (founding)

Besides harvesters, honeypot ants are pretty messy (at least the two species I've kept...) They prefer side viewing formicarium, which makes things worse.
Camponotus fragilis is the cleanest in my collection, and their honey colored bodies look crystal clear too. Plus their fast reproduction, voracious appetite and always active; it's my favorite colony now.
