Hi!
After watching Mikey's videos 100+ times, I decided that it would be easier to give my colonies nicknames. Since I could not come up with any interesting names, can you guys suggest some for me? Thanks!
My currently established colonies in need of names:
Aphaenogaster Picea (100 worker)

Tetramorium Caespitum (13 worker)

Camponotus Nearcticus (5 worker)

Tapinoma Sessile (3 worker)

Lasius Murphyi(queen) x Neoniger(workers) (10 worker)

Brachymyrmex Depilis (300 worker)- Named Kevin Bacon

Kevin Bacon. 

 

Edit:
My naming suggestions are along the nerdy/geeky trends.
