Nice! ;)

I hope they don't kill each other, I would love to see a mixed colony. :)

Wait, I am unfamiliar with Lasius. You put a parasitic and a non parasitic queen together? If so, make a formicarium in which the two cannot come in contact, for example, make passages only large enough for the workers to get through, and put the queens into separate chambers! :D

Ummm, I'm pretty sure it will be alright for now... anyway all I have seen is the parasites were chewing at the neoniger's wings for some reason...
