Hallo everyone! I am making this journal to share my journey with Formica Pallidefulva. So, I first got these ants back somewhere around 2/20/2025. I found them because I was by a church at a garage sale and I decided to lift over a rock. Then I saw a red field ant queen with hundreds of workers on the bottom on the rock just chilling there, and I decided to get the queen first. And now fast forward to now, they've been moved multiple times and lost a few workers here and there, but they should be at around sixty to seventy workers, a healthy queen, and a batch or two of eggs. Definitely let me know if this has happened to anybody else before!

As of now, 5/25/2025, The colony id digging deep into the terrarium and is excavating a lot. They don't seem to be very hungry at the moment, which I'm not totally sure why. It might just be because they don't have big enough larvae yet.
