Eh, the coloration of our Prenolepis is better.

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).

I don’t know if they have as pronounced of repletes, since they’re so understudied, but I did see a picture of a couple pretty fat ones on Google. They could very well be, though.

We should combine ants to make the best species. The hardiness and prolificness of tetramorium, combined with the fatness of prenolepis, combined with the non "escapeness" of Pogonomyrmex.

...combined with Polyrhachis coloration, Carebara polymorphism, and maybe polygyny.

And finally, Tapinoma sessile. The smell will take your mind off of all the other terrible things this ant is doing.

If we look at the name etymologically, Euprenolepis is technically the "true" Prenolepis, because the greek prefix "eu" means "true", as in "eukaryotic", cells that have true nuclei.
