Hello! Here is my overgrown P. longicornis colony. I collected them under a stone I overturned. I captured 4 queens, a whole bunch of workers and male reproductives, and a whole bunch of brood (mostly pupae) I have started making a wooden formicarium for them. I hope it turns out well.

The queens are somewhere in there probably pumping more eggs.

Nice.

I look forward to seeing your formicarium.
