Tetramorium immigrans. Nuptial flights are definitely happening right now for this species, caught a bunch myself!


Currently raising: 

Manica invidia (1 queen +  ~30 workers)

Manica invidia (3 colonies, 3 queens plus brood)

Lasius niger (single queen + ~200+ workers)

Lasius americanus (3 colonies, ~5 workers p/colony)

Tetramorium immigrans (1 queen + ~1200 workers)

Tetramorium immigrans (3 colonies, 3 queens)

No, this queen has stored deposits of food In its gaster, so you shouldn't need to feed it. I also believe it dissolves a piece of its brain as food. However, if you want to you can give her a bit of sugar-water, but personally I don't recommend it. Workers should come pretty quickly for this species, so get ready!
