You need Lasius workers/brood for this species, the more brood/workers you get the better this species is pretty hard to keep for newbies.Here is a care sheet for this species' European sister species. Their care is the same:https://www.formicul...sius-umbratus/

3. Forestish area
4. About 0.4 of a inch
5. Reddish brown

Keeping ants since 2020
I keep:
Myrmicinae: Solenopsis molesta( 2 queens). Tetramorium immigrans ( 3 colonies with the biggest nearing 800 workers!),
Crematogaster cerasi 
( 1 colony with a worker). Temnothorax curvispinosus ( 1 queen with colony of 2 workers).
Formicinae: Prenolepis imparis ( 2 single queen colonies). Lasius brevicornis ( 19 founding queens) haven't seen many journals of them. Lasius Neoniger (a founding queen).Formica incerta( 1 colony with 22 workers)
Previously kept: Pogonomyrmex occidentalis ( 1 colony with 9 workers).
As you can tell I like ants

I have a few questions though. So I just collect workers? Can they be tetramorium or lasuis, or does it not really matter? Additionally, where can I find a care-sheet for this species? Is this too hard for a beginner or is it easy, as I would like to have a parasitic lasuis, I find them really cool!
