it must be really a breeze to catch them since you are located in LA

[Kaelwizard]

I want to find Camponotus subbarbatus. I also want some Dolichoderus and to find the one Dorymyrmex species that AntMaps.org says lives here.

I would like to add that I want to find a Temnothorax colony hosting Temnothorax minutissimus, because that would be a really neat find.

[M_Ants]

I want desert Temnothorax. 

[Chickalo]

GOD I've been waiting for someone to post this question

Temnothorax (any species)

Campontus Ameircanus

Lasius latipes

Lasius claviger

(Lasius clavtipes?)

Monomorium minimum

Camponotus pennsylvanicus

Camponotus castaneus

Trachymyrmex

 

[Kaelwizard]

I've seen it written as L. clavipes, but I'm not sure if it has an official name or not.

[Antkeeper01]

temnothorax, S. pilinasis, C. sansabeanus, pheidole, Solenopsis, the sp i want the most: Manica Hunteri(I know where a bunch are

[Ferox_Formicae]

Neivamyrmex sp, Camponotus socius, Nylanderia phantasma, Strumigenys rogeri, Strumigenys talpa, and Aphaenogaster treatae.

[WSantkeeper]

Formica obscuripes

Stigmatomma oregonse(i think that is how its spelled)

 

Camponotus novaeboreacensis( i found one last year but gave it to friend(it didn't make it.))

 

Pheidole(i probably won't be able to find any.)

[Ferox_Formicae]

Formica obscuripes

Stigmatomma oregonse(i think that is how its spelled)

Good luck with the Pheidole. You'll have to travel to Southeastern WA to even have a chance at finding them. I used to live in Marysville, WA, so just down the street from you, and the only ants I ever really found were Camponotus, Myrmica, TONS of Formica (including F. obscuripes; they're really fun to keep!), Lasius, Tetramorium, Solenopsis and Leptothorax. If you want, PM me and I'll give you a list of my favorite anting spots near our area and what species I've found there.

[Vendayn]

Any species that I can find locally that isn't Pheidole megacephala, Solenopsis invicta or Argentine ants. And not too tiny like Monomorium ergatogyna. The picking of local (native) ants is getting smaller and smaller. I guess if like invasive ants though, more and more to choose from around here lol.

Oh, and I forgot parasitic Formica. Such incredible ants.

[Chickalo]

I'm doing this again because I realised how many mistakes I made on the last one...

This is kind of a long list, it's all saved in a book so I don't really forget.

Also, this is based off information I've seen, so a species might be really boring to keep but I don't know
Also, also, this is from a book in 2012 so some of the undescribed species might now be described (or something I dunno, man)

Sorry had to make it small so it's not too long

Going to make a taxonomical correction there--Pachycondyla chinensis has been revised to be Brachyponera chinensis. Other than that, many of those ants are on my list as well, if being similar version we have on the West Coast.

[Antcatcherpro3]

I am hoping to catch pheidole pilifera, nylanderia, camponotus, formica, lots of different types of lasius, crematogaster and prenopilis. The prenopilis nuptial flights for this year is about to end. Basically all the speices in my area I want to catch. I want a diverse range of ants this year.
