Body for me?
Too bad she died.


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.

 

Ooh, me too! I need coordinates and collection date and time though.

Yeah no problem. I can also get you a few Strumigenys pilinasis queens and workers if you want. And Brachyponera chinensis, but they're not cryptic lol.

Pheidole bicarinata (Colony #1)

Their first three majors arrived today! They now have around 35 workers, 60 brood in all stages. And they love cricket legs and sugar water.

Pheidole bicarinata (Colony #1)
9-7-19

It would seem as though my queens were of a monogynous population. Only one queen remains, and the workers actually killed the other three. And I was wrong, they have 2 majors and one major pupa.

Pogonomyrmex occidentalis (Colony #1)
9-7-19

She has 5 large larvae and one pupa! Extremely fast growth! Her first worker should arrive in a week or so.

Colobopsis impressa (Colony #1)
9-7-19

These three queens have 3 pupae now, and about 20 eggs and larvae.

Crematogaster cerasi (Colony #1)
9-7-19

This queen now has around 200 workers, 400 pupae, and close to 600 eggs and larvae.

I also found two late flying Crematogaster queens. I haven't identified them yet, as this requires a microscope (and I'm too lazy to get mine out right now lol).

Well they beheaded the last queen. I am adding the workers and brood to Colony #2.

Pheidole bicarinata (Colony #2)

You haven't heard much about them, as Colony #1 was my main colony, but they have about 40 workers, some majors and 60 eggs. I will add the rest of Colony #1 to them momentarily.

How are your Nylanderia doing?

Hi there! I went on a 6 month or so hiatus, in part due, and in part cause of the death of my colonies. 

However, I went back to the Sierras, and restarted my collection, which is now as follows:

Aphaenogaster uinta, Camponotus vicinus, Camponotus modoc, Formica cf. aserva, Formica cf. micropthalma, Formica cf. manni, Formica subpolita, Formica cf. subaenescens, Lasius americanus, Manica invidia, Pogonomyrmex salinus, Pogonomyrmex sp. 1, Solenopsis validiuscula, & Solenopsis sp. 3 (new Sierra variant).

They wouldn't move to the new nest so they died of dehydration.

Are you referring to Cloud the Dinosaur King? Because now he's Ferox Formicae.

Hopefully! I have high hopes for them, as they have 3 queens.
