I figured its time to start another journal since I found myself in possession of a species that doesn't seem to be very well documented on here or AntWiki. Before he moved, UtahAnts was clearing out some inventory and I purchased up a lot of what he had, and by doing so I came to find myself the owner of a Lasius ponderosae queen. It felt a bit irresponsible to not make a journal of this species considering how little I can find on them. Hopefully I can do it justice.
She went into diapause about mid-November and came out around the beginning of March. She has a small clutch of eggs she has laid (I want to say about 2 weeks ago) you can see just below the front of her body.
Not much to report now, but wanted to get this started. Hopefully nothing weird happens and she survives.
