Are any of these able to be found in the Henderson area? Because it would be cool if I found one and made a massive colony of with multiple queens.

In my experience Solenopsis molesta and Lasius brevicornis will.

I read somewhere in a thread similar to this that solenopsis invicta will do it but I am unsure in this. Though, once my solenopsis colony get bigger and I catch new queens I can test it out.

No, the full name is Linepithema humile or more commonly known as Argentine ants.

myrmica rubra will also probably take in a new queen. I think the chance is higher if its a queen from the same colony.

Here in Europe, Myrmica rubra and Formica polyctena are known to do so.

Are you able to find Myrmica rubra in the Henderson NV area?
