Cool thanks for letting me know 😃

My favorite genus is pheidole because of their majors

i want to keep ghost ants

[Nathant2131]

My favorite species would probably be Myrmica rubra, but Lasius neoniger has a special place in my heart because it was always there at the beginning. I caught my first queen of that species, and they are very abundant in my area. So I want to keep Myrmica rubra, but I've seen plenty of L neoniger, though I've only kept queens so far.

[Canadian anter]

Polyrachis or maybe Harpegnathos

[Alabama Anter]

Harpegnathos, Myrmecia, Odontomachus, and Solenopsis invicta for sticking with me since the beginning.

[Martialis]

I want Trachymyrmex and Dolichoderus.

[Salmon]

Pheidolegeton diversus, Pogonomyrmex badius, Messor barbarus, and Cataglyphis bombycina.

 

Cataglyphis is especially glorious, what other formicine has such crazy majors?

 

 

[Connectimyrmex]

My favorite ants are Ochetellus Glaber(for being my first colony to have workers and to get me into ant keeping) , Leptogenys Falcigera(for being like the army ants of Hawaii) , and Pseudomyrmex Gracilis(for being plain gLaMoRoUs).

I have yet to keep any ants but I really like Prenolepis imparis. Runner ups would be Crematogaster and Camponotus.
