Hello. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the care, lifestyle, and nuptial flight schedule of Cephalotes texanus, or any Cephalotes in general. I am hoping to find a queen when I go to Texas, or better yet, an entire colony. Thanks.

@CloudtheDinosaurKing, I will save you the trouble of hearing this from those who are going to go all crazy on you, and inform you that it is illegal to carry queens across state lines.

Good luck.

Good job TC. You nipped that one right in the bud before it even came out of the womb!
