Hi people of formiculture! Once again, what journal would you like best? I will be putting some tempting(two) options on the list...

The reason I do this is so that people actually follow the journals and see how the colonies progress









Antdrew I see you picking the Crematogaster option

Voting will end in 48 hours. Surprised electric ants has the most votes! I put those on there for variety, I thought they would only get one or two votes!

In electric ants defense, colonies in Florida don’t have nuptial flights and colonies are immortal so…
If you are wondering how I got them I collected six colonies and merged them by throwing them all together because I ran out of tubes.

Yeah, I voted for the electric ants too. I don't think there are many Wasmannia journals out there, so hopefully you'll make a good one with some good tips on how to raise them!

I am not sure how they have so much brood I literally feed them scraps from other colonies(And fish flakes)

Just a note: F. Archboldi is being created whether community likes it or not, I just love making journals and that is my favorite queen right now. Also if electric ants does win I will actually have to move them into a better setup so I can get pictures.

Also anything that gets 5+ votes will be created

Same. Every other ant is secondary in my opinion.

Alright, so here is my decision. Since 5 people want ahead hunter ants, I will make a journal for them in a couple weeks, electric ants journal will probably start whenever I have time to move them, and just for antdrew, I will make a Crematogaster journal(And also to prove that queens who try to fly can be fertile)
