Temnothorax, Leptothorax, many Myrmentoma, and Colobopsis yogi.


Hi there! I went on a 6 month or so hiatus, in part due, and in part cause of the death of my colonies. 

However, I went back to the Sierras, and restarted my collection, which is now as follows:

Aphaenogaster uinta, Camponotus vicinus, Camponotus modoc, Formica cf. aserva, Formica cf. micropthalma, Formica cf. manni, Formica subpolita, Formica cf. subaenescens, Lasius americanus, Manica invidia, Pogonomyrmex salinus, Pogonomyrmex sp. 1, Solenopsis validiuscula, & Solenopsis sp. 3 (new Sierra variant).

Are arboreal ants kept differently than normal ants?

Most people keep them in test tubes, but I imagine many wood(haha) do better in twig nests. If they will be kept in test tubes, the thinner, the better I imagine.
