Hello everyone,

Wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I'm fairly new to the hobby, in fact I don't currently have any kind of setup, but I figured this would be a good place to learn before taking the next step. I like most creatures big and small, but I've always been interested in hive/colony insects; ants, bees, termites and what have you. I'm tucked away up in Washington state, a little south of Seattle. Looking forward to interacting with everyone.

A lot of people finding Formica obscuripe queens where you live! Good luck in the hobby!

Just a little boy that likes ants. I try my best to be mature and competent.

Thank you Aqua and super-oil. I feel like I've learned more about ants in the last week than I have in my adult life lol. I believe Formica obscuripe are what I called wood ants as a kid. Relatively big ant hills.
