This colony was a satellite nest I found in a twig yesterday. The parent colony is obviously mature because the nest I collected had super majors, drones and females. I will go out and find the parent colony today and add them to the satellite nest I found. I will update when I get them! :)

Did she lay yet?

Hi there! I went on a 6 month or so hiatus, in part due, and in part cause of the death of my colonies. 

However, I went back to the Sierras, and restarted my collection, which is now as follows:

Aphaenogaster uinta, Camponotus vicinus, Camponotus modoc, Formica cf. aserva, Formica cf. micropthalma, Formica cf. manni, Formica subpolita, Formica cf. subaenescens, Lasius americanus, Manica invidia, Pogonomyrmex salinus, Pogonomyrmex sp. 1, Solenopsis validiuscula, & Solenopsis sp. 3 (new Sierra variant).

She was probably infertile.
