Recently, I was browsing through lists of Canadian ants when one genus caught my eye; Dolichoderus  (specifically Dolichoderus taschenbergi and mariae).

While I knew Dolichoderus species were native to Canada I had never really tried to research them until recently. However, when I did research them I found that there is not much useful information about these ants. As a result I have a couple questions:

 

How do Dolichoderus found their colonies? What habitat do they live in? And is it possible to raise them in captivity?

 

Any information is welcome and appreciated. Thank you in advance.
