Other arthropod eggs (centipedes, ants, etc.) and juveniles have also been observed in nests. There's a link in Forestdragon's post about his queen.

Get a queen! They're more common than most other Proceratium species. I'm trying to find a colony of Proceratium chickasaw as well.

Proceratium californicum in the only species in cali(I think) and I have bad luck in general. For instance, I know stigmatomma is all over my back hill, just never found a single worker.

Pheidole bicarinata (Colony #1)
8-30-19

They have 30 ish workers and a ton of brood. I'm estimating about 80 brood. Most of which is pupae and larvae. They also have their first two major pupae!

Proceratium pergandei (Colony #1)
8-30-19

This queen is still alive. She has her own earwig pair. The eggs that they produce will be her colony's food.

Her larvae have grown incredibly in size. She now has 10 medium-large larvae and 2 eggs. She's feasting on cricket legs and seeds right now.

Sorry, I already pinned her. I will get you one though. Do you need a worker, or just a queen? I'll send them in some alcohol.

Anything, I just love the crypto species. Thank you so much, I never expected you to actually get me anything.
