Hello I'm new to this forum, I was curious if anyone knows good places for anting in Colorado (springs area) but also in general. I live in a zone with ducky biodiversity and it's rather rare to see any ant queens at all poutside of tetremorium which dominate my area. Specific location reccomendations would be appreciated, because I know the gerneral conditions just the parks around me tend to lack in queen ants. Thank you so much to anyone who helps!
I’m not from there but when anting you should take a walk and investigate in places you have not been / don know what species inhabit that area and keep a log of any species you find maybe you’ll find what ant species you’re looking for, and whenever your expecting a nuptial flight, you can go to that location and you’ll have a higher chance to catch a queen your looking for, it’s always worked for me.
Currently keeping:
1x Formica subsericea, 20+ workers + a decently sized brood pile, mostly pupa (40-50)
1x Crematogaster cerasi 2 workers with brood (pls don't die workers)
*As you watch your ants march, remember that every thing begins with a small step and continued by diligence and shared dreams*
