Drew, did you find Myrmeocystus at the same time you found Novomessor when you went to Goffs after the rainstorm? I am also curious about your sugar to water ratio.

Hoping to find this year:
Myrmecocystus, Liometopum occidentale, Camponotus essigi, Camponotus fragilis, Manica bradleyi, Formica perpilosa, Pheidole hyatti, and a Parasitic Formica sp.
People are stupid. It explains a lot...

I just got home from work, and found the colony all moved in. That was quick.
Stop killing your ants.
Update 1-22-2019
One colony died, leaving me with just three left. All three have over 20 workers, with the largest having close to 30. One of the remaining colonies is the one that I combined. Amazingly, that queen is still producing.

I think u have the highest rate of killing colonies...
I doubt it. With the number of colonies Drew has, combined with the fact that he journals every single one, there are bound to be some deaths, which doesn't make his death rate any higher.I think u have the highest rate of killing colonies...
I have up to around 400 colonies of ants every year at some point. I also keep journals on every species I have, and have kept about 84 different species over my seven years keeping ants. Lastly, almost every colony that dies I write about publicly.
Drew is certainly no begainair.

Wonder how good that one colony that you sold is doing?

When my wife says I have a lot of colonies (20ish), I'll saw Drew has one for every day of the year.

Hey drew, just a curious question, why don't you house these in a dirt box formicarium. (Same for Camponotus)
Currently Keeping:
Pogonomyrmex Californicus Bicolor & Concolor
Pogonomyrmex Subnitidius
Camponotus Sansabeanus

Camponotus nest in wood. How would that work?
Not all Camponotus nest in wood.

They don't seem to want to dig a lot of the time.
