I keep: pogonomyrmex rugosus | myrmecocystus depilis | monomorium ergatogyna | Camponotus CA-02 | Pheidole Bicarinata
And many Carnivorous plants such as: Dionea muscipula (fly trap), Sarracenia x 'Fiona' ( American Pitcher plant), Nepenthese ventrata (Tropical Pitcher plant), and Pinguicula agnata x emarginata (Butterwort) (show off your plants here)
Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores it's provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. Proverbs 6: 6-8

Huh, never know I guess. It's very unfortunate but I'll get some more eventually.

If it's going to help, pogonomyrmex in general is very difficult to successfully found, and i'd say the most dangerous stages are when the queen has no eggs, or the amount of workers barely make it to ten. most queens i had will never get above 1-2 workers. Most queens with no apparent reason, just die. Advise for next time, they hate sudden vibrations, if possible catch a bunch.
