I am hoping there are enough TN antkeeper to keep this thread going lol. I haven't done much myself this year in terms of looking but I have seen a few males. I've also witnessed 3 big Solenopsis richteri nests having a nuptial flight. I wasn't able to stay much longer after seeing it taking place or I'd have hopefully caught a couple. Along with Camponotus castaneus, they are probably the only 2 species I am looking for or would be willing to trade/purchase from someone. (Solenopsis invicta would work as well) But yea, happy hunting everyone! Oh, and my signature will be updated soon...I let a few colonies go this year due to me also getting into other invert keeping...mainly tarantulas 😁
Keeping:
Camponotus subbarbatus
Camponotus pennsylvanicusx3 (founding)
Dorymyrmex bureni
Formica pallidefulva x3
Formica subsericea x4
Tetramorium immigrans

Have kept many other ant species but now keep over 100 tarantulas and other inverts! Mantids, centipedes, and scorpions to name a few 😁
