That is what I said in the beginning,
Pretty sure their hosts are americanus, pallitarsis and a few others, basically any species that are not parasitic
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

Actually, they can host with parasitic ants as well. AnthonyP163's Journal mentions him introducing Lasius interjectus queens to Lasius claviger hosts, found here.
Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. -Proverbs 6: 6-8

But then you immediately switched over to L. minutus. If you're unsure on ID, it's generally best to leave it at genus or subgenus level rather than guessing random species.
