Sadly this diapause season was a disaster. The fridge the ants were in started to fluctuate in temperature and it killed six maybe seven of my ant colonies and two of my founding queens . Including:
My Crematogaster colony
Both Prenolepis colonies
Myrmica queens
Crematogaster queen
Formica neogagates colony
Solenopsis molesta colony
Camponotus pennsylvanicus large colony (maybe).
It reduced the Tetramorium to around fifty workers, lowered the Formica incerta colony to around sixty workers, killed all but one of the Camponotus novaeboracensis workers. The second smaller pennsylvanicus colony had all but two workers and the queen died.
No way man! That sucks! I hope that you can catch more, and continue to grow this amazing journal.
