i just picked up a bunch of wood to make a wooden formicarium, so i’m looking for non-hibernating small colonies/single queens of any small (no Camponotus lol) wood dwelling species to test out the formicarium (and to know what size i should make the chambers). i’m probably going to purchase 2-3 colonies depending on size/price.
ty! :)

Liometopum would probably be your best choice for testing. They grow fast and nest in wood in the wild.
