Today me, my little brother, and my friend went around flipping over rocks at the park. This one rock we nudged it a little and all of a sudden it was swarmed with fire ants. My friend managed to flip it over and there was a huge super colony underneath; we saw at least two queen ants. One of them my brother caught and the other got away. We caught some minors, workers, and soldiers. Now my brother has an ant colony!!!
Nice find! As long as you have workers, then I your good. You might also want to help your brother feed them at least twice every day (sugars and protein) since it’s likely a large colony that you found. Good Luck!
