Hello ant keepers, I’m Spazmops (long story), and I now have an ant colony. I was waiting until I actually had ants before I introduced myself, but you’ve probably seen me misID some queens and generally make a fool of myself. I apologize, I’m still very new at this. I live in Colorado, which luckily has my dream species, Myrmecocystus Mexicanus, which I’m more than willing to buy/trade for. That’s about all I have to say, other than I’m looking forward to growing big colonies and catching more queens in the future!

1 Tetramorium immigrans colony-20 workers

1 Dorymyrmex insanus- 1 queen, used to have workers

 

1 large P. occidentalis colony- around 50 workers, plenty of brood
