Lol I have three spots, one of them is so huge that 10 people could go and get queens, and it's closer to most people on this thread. The one I go to is way South so it's only convenient for me.

Dang. I think I know the other place you’re talking about too.

The mystery continues... ( dadum chhh)

[YsTheAnt]

Haha. Seriously though, if anyone wants to know message me and the spots yours. I just don't want to post it out in the open so the entire world knows where to find it, ya know?

[sirjordanncurtis]

Same place where you went to get Pogonomyrmex . If anyone wants to know where message me and I'll give you the location, it's plenty big for many people just don't want to post it publicly.

Are the nests and workers obvious? I must be blind

 

Edit: the only other ants besides Pogonomyrmex I saw were huge Camponotus majors lol

Lol the nests are only active sunset and into the night. You won't know they exist till the sun sets and all of a sudden there are thousands of them everywhere.

[Rstheant]

Or until they sting you...

Myrmecocustus don't sting

[Jadeninja9]

YS, do you think tonight’s temperature increase to about 59-61 degrees will cause flights?

Doubtful. It's a bit to cold and windy for anything quite yet. Once this whole atmospheric river thing passes, hopefully it will get much warmer.

[Jadeninja9]

Yeah, I don’t know why I even asked that lol

[Rstheant]

Myrmecocustus don't sting

I was talking about them Pogonomyrmex with the nasty sting that makes adults whimper like a 3 year old, yeah, good memories...

But in the post you quoted I was referring to Myrmecocustus haha.

Um, okayyy...

[EthanNgo678]

Quick question, are Vemomesser clausteral? 

[YsTheAnt]

Veromessor andrei, no. Veromessor pergandei, yes.

[EthanNgo678]

Ok thanks, I think I have andrei so what should I feed them during this time?

[YsTheAnt]

I doubt you have andrei. They don't fly this time of year. If you do, Kentucky bluegrass and Poppy seeds with the occasional cricket leg works great.

Guys whoever is going around digging up nests please stop, couple of the locations I ant at were posted here and people attempted to dig up adult nests....Please for the sake of nature and ant keepers don't try to dig up mature nests...

[YsTheAnt]

None of the long time members on this thread is responsible for the destruction. I am sorry if I made anyone feel accused, and it was the person doing the accusing that was responsible for the destruction.
