If anyone can collect Aphaenogaster tennesseensis (both queens and colonies), I'd be willing to pay over 30 dollars just for a queen.

If anyone has a captive Lasius (neoniger, americanus, brevicornis, aphidicola, claviger, speculiventris, or interjectus) colony with lots of pupae, please DM me.

No queens in Florida yet. Going to try to catch D. bureni now. When do they fly?(Day, night or morning)

Also, trying to collect trachymyrmex soon.(They fly in morning?)(I may get mistaken for another sister genus, so I will sell if I get too many colonies with workers)

I had Lasius aphidicola, but let her go because I had no host workers. 


Been keeping ants since January of 2021

Always try new things, even if its hard, hard is not impossible. We are smart and it's good to be smart but not too smart for your own good.
