Does anyone know how to raise Aphaenogaster tennesseensis? I know they're parasitic, so that will make things more complicated.

Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?

There are so many fascinating ants right were you live!

I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that are not found in your area.

Just give her some Aphaenogaster fulva-Rudis-texana complex pupae and workers but because Aphaenogaster have naked pupae couldn't she just have that instead of workers because they don't need to be opened like Formica? Please correct me if in wrong.
