Just found an aphaenogaster rudis queen today. I'm glad I found something to replace my nylanderia vividula.

Queens! (Multiple of some species) I ran out of test tubes, I got only 4 for me and one for a friend new to the hobby.
I have too many queens at home and I can’t find someone who wants to buy them.

Mineral, great place, full of insects and queen ants. Even my friends in Brazil got surprised by the number of queens I found.
