Was on a walk and found many parasitic lasius flying. Not sure of species, but they seem to be Acanthomyops group. Just a heads up. Will put an ID request soon.

Hope to see some of these guys in B.C! Have some colonies I could steal brood from hehe.


Currently raising: 

Myrmica rubra (1 queen +  ~5 workers)

Lasius niger (single queen + ~90+ workers)

Lasius neoniger (3 single queen + brood)

Formica spp. (Queen [likely parasitic, needs brood])

Formica pacifica (Queen)

Also keeping a friend's tetramorium immigrans for the foreseeable future. Thanks CoffeBlock!
