A little late for our northern neighbors, but I’m thankful for this space to learn and not be seen as a lunatic. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

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).

And I'm thankful for Nylanderia being able to get to 300 workers in under 5 months. :o

I’m thankful that my 1 lasius neoniger queen keeps trying after my stupidity. She always has eggs it seems but then I check on her and she eats them. The realization that maybe I should not check on her as often did not come about until recently.
