All higher order attine ant uses the same cultivar of fungus and can be Interchangeable. The exception is one particular trachymyrmex species wich can also use high order attine fungus.

Wait, do they feed their first egg to the fungus? All the pictures I have seen, the egg is on the fungus.

No, I think they just keep everything valuable to them in one pile.

How did you get the queen and pellet out? I assume you caught one on flight, and it isn't one from one of your buckets?
How many queens did you catch, and how many do you think have their pellets?
Look forward to reading the journal.

We caught them just after they flew, before they started digging their founding chambers. I got a few of them, but I think only maybe 20 percent of them have fungus pellets that I can see.

If I can keep my queens long enough that yours get a substantial amount, can I buy a little piece off you?

The Acromyrmex versicolor season seems to be over. This thread will be carried onto 2015 so all the information on this species can stay together, and will most likely be inactive for the next 10 months.
