I am glad it is working out because of how I never knew this species and I want to see the whole colony founding, you also have tried so many times on this journal and now you are getting biological workers

Currently keeping:

 

1x Formica subsericea, 35-40 workers +  BIG brood pile + 10 pupa.

1x Crematogaster cerasi, 1 workers + finally some bigger brood (The worker that was dying died  :facepalm:)

1x Myrmica ruba sp around 10 workers

*New* 1x  founding Camponotus pennsylvanicus + eggs that die (probably infertile)

*New* 2x Camponotus nova, one is infertile

*As you watch your ants march, remember that every thing begins with a small step and continued by diligence and shared dreams*

Yeah don't let my attempts have you believing it's difficult. They are easy to keep and I was just lazy in previous years.
