UPDATE! 10/7

Tetramorium increase in workers.


Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. -Proverbs 6: 6-8

Species Status: Semi-Invasive(do not release)

I don't think that's a thing. They're just plain invasive.

I believe they are considered semi invasive since they are actually native to america, but despite that no one should release them because they kill whatever ants aren't strong enough to defend themselves, Lasius, Winter ants, and others.

i think i will leave it as semi-invasive, as they do not invade other ants nests

Update 11/09

1 of the tetramorium queens is not fertile, so reduced the number of tetras available. 1 colony is doing really good though, with around 15 workers and foraging like crazy. i will give them an outworld soon. i might raise the price back to $10 on that colony.

I have updated this to my journal, as i feel like AntsDakota should have his own shop if he wants one.

And i am back! With an Updated shop! The myrmica did not work out, sadly. i am not sure how to raise those things... tetramorium were just getting a little big for my want, and with as little buyers in SD, i didn't want to be saddled with them for too long... and lasius died/excaped.  But camponotus! i do still have that. hopefully i will get pics soon!
