Hi!
I've been antkeeping for about a year, now and I have a Lasius Niger colony with about 60 workers and 2 Formica fusca colonies in diapause with about 10 workers.

Welcome to Formiculture! I've also kept Lasius niger in the past! They are a fun species to keep.

Welcome! You are already a lot farther than many people one year into ant keeping, so congratulations!

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
