Hello everyone! My name is Joe, superjman, jman, or j (depending on what you want to call me). I'm from Missouri. I am very excited to have found this place! I don't have any ants as of yet but this spring I'm going to be going all out to get some queens and hopefully start a colony or two! I like bugs/animals/plants/anylivingthing of all shapes, sizes, colors, leg combinations, eating habits, etc and have a cricket colony, 3 dogs, 2 horses, a cat, a palm tree, and a small plant that I have no idea about (I got him clearance at lowes and even though he is small he is fierce!). Feel free to message me anytime because I love talking to people if I'm online I'll message back as soon as I notice! I also enjoy video games, movies, music, comics, walks, cooking, sewing, carpentry, fishing, baking, painting, drinking coffee, and collecting cool cans and bottles. I can't wait to get to know everyone!

Leo I love the variety! Also I love love love the fact that you have a huntsman spider. They're sooooo cool!

 

CrazyLegs Myrmecia brevinoda are crazy! Aren't they like an inch and a half long?

 

Dspdrew lol I looove coffee. I drink about a pot a day I think. Usually with lots of sugar and milk. Ants aren't the only thing that love sweets!!

Welcome from, I would be interested in seeing your cricket colony. 

[superjman]

T.C. in my signature section there's a link to my bug blog (lol I did just start it today) that has my room colony (my pet crickets). I have pictures of it on there as well as some good closeups!

[superjman]

I say good but idk how good they actually are lol. I think they're good but I guess its all subjective!

Nice. I'm hoping to start my first colonies this year too, so hopefully we'll get some good nuptial flights once things warm up.
