Hello,

My name is Chris and I'm new to anting.

I live in south west Florida by the gulf coast.

I have a few queens already and 1 group of nanitics so far.

I hope to learn and contribute.

Thanks.

Right now I have a Camponotus Casteneus with 5 workors.

I also have a Camponotus Platanus, what looks like a Brachymyrmex, Pogonomyrmex Badius, and a bunch of Solonopsis Geminata. All in test tubes with some amount of brood.
