I have recently got an interest in these types of ants and after watching some videos on them and seeing this image, all I can say is this is partially accurate.

Currently keeping:

1x Formica subsericea, 35-40 workers + maybe eggs *New* 2x Camponotus nova, one has only larva

1x Crematogaster cerasi, All workers is ded :facepalm: *extreme internal screaming* 1x Myrmica ruba sp around 10 workers + pupa

*New* 1x Temnothorax curvispinosus, 101 or something worker + 3 or 4 royal mom ants + pile of white ant worms

*As you watch your ants march, remember that every thing begins with a small step and continued by diligence and shared dreams* -A.T (which is Me)

Sadly due to unforeseen consequences, I will soon be giving away my colonies (I will miss them though )
