Hello everybody!

I am from Guernsey in the Channel Islands which is a bunch of islands between the UK and France.

I've been browsing this forum for the last few months and decided that it was finally time to make an account.

I am currently keeping these sp:

Lasius flavus

Lasius niger

Formica fusca

My lasius colonies are both small at the moment with around 5-10 workers each but with a lot of brood and eggs

My formica fusca is growing bigger every day with two queens and around 50+ workers and BIG piles of brood and eggs

I can't wait to get to know everyone on here!

:drinks:

That looks like a really cool place to live. They even have their own word for ants, fouormillaons.
