hi

 

for the past few months i have seen odontomachus queens, some random campontotus and polyarchis queens in the lobby/play area, most of those sp i have seen only once or twice on the mountains. aslo they are too big to go unnoticed AND the people who live here spray pesticides, what's going on?

I'd be curious what the "common" ants are you're finding in the same area as well.
