Any tips for raising Lasius claviger? I love these ants and I never was successful and would very much like a colony of them.

Citronella ants! Awesome! I would suggest brood boosting/ adding host workers.

This guide has everything you would need to know. High failure rates are typical with socially parasitic species, so I would try to collect a large number of queens.

How are your Aphenogaster tennesseesis? I think those are social parasites as well.

Hey, guess what I just caught. I caught what's in my little picture this late! I also love these ants and was unsuccessful with them, I really hope she's fertile!
