Better boost with some worker brood if she is S. amblychila. They may be parasitic or autoparasitic.

What does autoparasitic mean?

Sometimes I found that if there is brood, the workers seems be more accepting other colony (ask for help maybe?) than if they are alone. Maybe because they are on carer duty than hunter in this case, given that they are same species.

Perhaps look around under the rocks and bricks, there maybe still some left over from the flight.

Are the colonies still there? I know this is an old thread, but I am very curious.
Hi there! I went on a 6 month or so hiatus, in part due, and in part cause of the death of my colonies.
However, I went back to the Sierras, and restarted my collection, which is now as follows:
Aphaenogaster uinta, Camponotus vicinus, Camponotus modoc, Formica cf. aserva, Formica cf. micropthalma, Formica cf. manni, Formica subpolita, Formica cf. subaenescens, Lasius americanus, Manica invidia, Pogonomyrmex salinus, Pogonomyrmex sp. 1, Solenopsis validiuscula, & Solenopsis sp. 3 (new Sierra variant).
