Hi yesterday I caught a Colobopsis truncata queen. As this species is arboreal in what setup should I put her? should i use a common test tube setup or she needs wood to live on?

This is the first arboreal queen I caught so any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

If they are anything like the Colobopsis here in the US, they do well in small test tubes, in diameter. Good luck!

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).
