Hello everyone I’m new here as you know and I started ant keeping last summer and I am currently keeping a Formica subsercia, solepnosis moleta and a couple of Lasius Niger colonies (sorry if I spelled some wrong) and I DO know a thing or two about ants but I am still pretty happy to have full access to the information about these wonderful insects over here

RushmoreAnts, Artisan_Ants and GOCAMPONOTUS like this

Currently keeping:

1x Formica subsericea, (used to be polygynous) 15+ workers with 4 pupa (Idk why they still have)

1x Lasius umbratus, (Workers accepted) 5+ workers with host brood

1x Ponera pennsylvanica, just queen

As you watch your ants march, remember: every journey begins with a single step (or queen)-not just towards you, but towards a future woven by diligence and shared dreams - Me

My father always said I had ants in my pants.

Welcome! Learning is definitely the key to excelling in the hobby, and this is one of the finest sources of myrmecological information you can find.
