Uh, yeah sure. My C. subbarbatus was moved to my Main Ant Journal, in my signature. The queen ended up dying for un-known reasons, though. But yes, I will try to make a video on C. subbarbatus next week, as I'm visiting family in WA tomorrow and won't be back until the 7th.

Maybe you’ll be able to see your old colony of Formica pacifica again.......

I’m hoping for more Pheidole flights tonight after the rain we had. I’m also starting up my mostly futile, yearly quest for Formica queens.

Ok, thanks! I have never seen a queen in my area before, but they are pretty dominant in my area.

Ok, those of you who have caught Colobopsis. I'm willing to trade my Stigmatomma pallipes queen with her eggs (soon to be larvae)

4: Tetramorium immigrans

2 Reticulitermes flavipes

Sure there doing a flight in my backyard and I’m sure I can go out at night and catch a few.

-I’ll stick them in a bag, wait for them to shed wings, the ones that shed wings I will put in test tubes, and the ones that lay eggs I’ll keep.

Zippo for me on the black-light. I didn’t wait very long, though.
