  2. Brachymyrmex sp.
  3. Camponotus novaeboracensis
  4. Lasius neoniger
  5. Temnothorax curvispinosus
  6. Tetramorium immigrans

I had a lot more last summer but some died.  :(

Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?

There are so many cool ants right were you live!

 

I strongly disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that are not found in your area.
