Dang, you guys are lucky you got the day off. Maybe I can somehow convince my dad to let me go anting with you guys next week.

Okay, well I don't have spring break next week and the temps aren't looking good either.

RsTheAnt I'll think about it. I worked really hard to get those so I'm only giving them away for a really good offer.

Do you know where you went cause I have to go to Santa Cruz next week anyways. Any information would be helpful.

It's too late now, rain is coming in this week and all the chambers will be washed away. I'm open to trading with anyone though, so PM me if you want something.

Just joking... I’ll see if they’ll fly soon, or sometime, and we can catch some...

Rugosus and Mendax are not found up north. You probably found mimicus which are quite common in some places in the Bay Area.

I don't know, exactly where she lives. Every time we drive down there I fall asleep.

 

 I am taking it down soon

The second ant is the honeypot

Looks more like veromessor, but sub. and rug. are also around here. Rugosus is a pain to find though cause you have to go to the mountains and high elevations like veromessor.

Lol yeah. It is said that they require cold temperatures for a few weeks for the queen to start laying her first batch of eggs.
