lol!

 

That is actually pretty funny. I do agree they should do something like this

Currently keeping:

 

1x Formica subsericea, (used to be polygynous) 20+ workers

1x Lasius umbratus, (Workers accepted) 25 workers with host brood (I think they are dead now lol)

1x Crematogaster cerasi 4 workers with brood (still growing)

That one Voidley made is really good. I was always thinking of making modified banners for holidays, but just never did it. I'll have to make it seamlessly/horizontally repeatable like the regular one, and then I'll put it up.

Header updated. Looks great guys. Thanks.

 

When I get the time later, I'll add some code that will automatically switch the header to this one during the holidays every year.
