Not many people have kept Formica from the neogagates group. I've made a few attempts, but the only queen to make it to the worker stage seems to have lost her nanitic to some sort of illness, as if her antennae stopped working. I surmise that they are a little more sensitive than fusca-group Formica.
If you've enjoyed using my expertise and identifications, please do not create undue ecological risk by releasing your ants. The environment which we keep our pet insects is alien and oftentimes unsanitary, so ensure that wild populations stay safe by giving your ants the best care you can manage for the rest of their lives, as we must do with any other pet.
Exotic ants are for those who think that vibrant diversity is something you need to pay money to see. It is illegal to transport live ants across state lines.

Thanks! Mine have only got up to nine workers each. They are in the neogagates group? I thought Formica lasiodes were black.

Coloration is rarely useful in ant taxonomy. One species can come in a variety of colors (Formica pallidefulva, for example).
