I'm guessing you meant Pogonomyrmex subnitidus, since P. subdentatus in my experience prefer to found colonies alone and are aggressive to neighboring queens.

I’m pretty sure they are Subdentatus, As subnitidus don’t fly this early. I caught these in late February of this year.

No worries! You can click the dropdown with your user name on it in the top right corner of the screen and select "My Settings." Scroll down to the bottom and change the "Location" section.

The location option isn’t available on the tapatalk app, or even the mobile version of formiculture.

To access it on the phone, you first have to access the site through the browser, then scroll to the bottom of the page, and then click the “Full Version” button.

Then you can follow the previous directions for updating location.
