I went on a ant together held by Canadian Anter in Toronto and I caught a lot of cool ants.

This journal is about the Lasius Americanus queen with 2 nanitics that I brood boosting a ton

I got around 100-150 pupae and a few eggs and larvae of Lasius Americanus unfortunately I did not find the queen.

We also stumbled across a huge lasius parasite nest and I caught 2 test tubes of pupae.

 

here are some pics
