I'm still here guys... Don't you dare think I left!  :yes: 

 

What I wanted to say is that I'm going to be coming here more frequently  :yahoo:  (yay for me)  Basically I had a lot of things happening recently and formiculture was just forgotten. Long story short, these incidents  involving school and everything is forcing me to move to somewhere abroad and now I am faced with a decision. Give away / sell my colonies, or release.  :*( (NOOOOO I I WANT TO KEEP MY COLONIES WAAAHHH)

 

Anyways I'm going to post about my new colonies here.

 

Happy ant keeping to you all!  (y)

Currently keeping:

 

1x Formica subsericea, 35-40 workers + maybe eggs

1x Crematogaster cerasi, only queen now, workers ded   :facepalm:*internal screaming*

1x Myrmica ruba sp around 10 workers + pupa

*New* 1x  founding Camponotus pennsylvanicus + eggs that die (probably infertile)

*New* 2x Camponotus nova, one is infertile

*As you watch your ants march, remember that every thing begins with a small step and continued by diligence and shared dreams*

I totally know how you feel. I was also off FC for quite some time. (I'm STILL pretty infrequent) I also had to give away all my colonies because I was moving to Korea for a year, and even though I'm back, my parents won't let me keep ants because I live in an apartment now. 

I hope your future colonies are as prosperous as the current!

Oof, I feel bad for you... Also thanks for the support, (y)  I want my future colonies to be like the colonies I have now but to my knowledge, there is barely any info on keeping the species that live where I might go, so that will be a learning curve

 

 

 

(I want to move to Ontario instead, it = keepy colonies)

Where are you moving to?

We are thinking of moving to Dubai but I don't know when. One thing that's for sure is that I won't be here for another year. Some other places that I hear that we have a small possibility of going to is Singapore or Ontario. but like I said the chances are slim   

 

Edit: I was just checking this journal view count and it is at 1k..... wow.....

(I'm not view farming just saying)

that's what I mean, usually I have only views from the members that read this journal and not from the guests.

 

Anyways soon I'm going to be updating this journal, don't be afraid to ask more questions tough
