Today on July 18th I captured about 40 Solenopsis xyloni queens they were literally falling from the sky all around me. I don’t know what I’ going to do with all of them🤔image.jpg

I like leafcutter ants. Watch The Ultimate Guide to Fungus Growing Ants:

This video took like over 100 hours of work, you should for sure watch it.

I have people asking me for S. xyloni all the time, and I never have them because I just don't usually collect them these days.

I Constantly find them from July through September my entire driveway is covered in them during the evening, I could have captured more but I didn’t have enough test tubes.
