Hello,

My name is Chris and I'm new to anting.

I live in south west Florida by the gulf coast.

I have a few queens already and 1 group of nanitics so far.

I hope to learn and contribute.

Thanks.

Right now I have a Camponotus Casteneus with 5 workors.

I also have a Camponotus Platanus, what looks like a Brachymyrmex, Pogonomyrmex Badius, and a bunch of Solonopsis Geminata. All in test tubes with some amount of brood.

C. castaneus is one of my favourite species due to it's magnificent color. Don't find any in my area besides C. americanus but welcome to formiculture CJ!

5x - S. molesta (founding)       2x - C. pennsylvanicus (colonies)
