Keeping:

1x - S. molesta (founding)       2x - C. pennsylvanicus (founding queen and colony)   

4x - C. chromaiodes (colonies)                                       

4x - T. immigrans (founding queens and colonies) ==> 3x queen [founding], 2x queen colony [colony], and two 1x queen [colony and founding]

1x - F. subsericea (founding)
