Oh, that’s pretty cool. Didn’t know.Solenopsis as a whole genus has two petioles - there is no difference in the number of petioles between any two species of Solenopsis.

Keeping:
3x - S. molesta
1x - C. chromaiodes
2x - F. pallidefulva
2x - C. cerasi
1x - B. depilis
2x P. imparis (colonies) 3x P. imparis queens (1x queen in test tube, 3x queens in test tube, and 6x queens in another test tube. Can't wait to see the results!)
Check out my C. chromaiodes journal here: https://www.formicul...aiodes-journal/
Next time avoid collecting from whole colonies, unless you're sure you can get all of them. Since you collected the queen and just a handful of workers, she has a low chance of restarting the colony from almost scratch. They should be fine since you did collect workers, but they might not end up well because they didn't have as many as they used to. Also, the rest of the colony and brood you left behind are pretty much wasted, since they no longer have a queen.
It was a super colony we saw at least two queens
Yeah, my brother got stung by a supermajor when we were getting the queen.
S. xyloni, and every Solenopsis in Nevada, do not have supermajors.
hmmm, maybe it was a major
