I caught a queen of Lasius Californicus yesterday and have a few questions.

Has anyone successfully kept this species?

Does anybody know what the host species of this parasite is?

Does anybody in california currently own said host species?

If your answer to the last question was yes, would you be willing to give or sell me some brood/callows of them?

If you could find some normal Lasius workers, such as L. americanus or L. neoniger, they should work as host workers, as long as you introduce them properly.
