How many workers/soldiers in each termite colony?
That’s a good question . I actually have no idea but rather a rough estimate of 15-20 workers in the first (it’s all covered in dirt), and who knows how many in the second!

Nice! Temnothorax is one of my targets for this year. I have a good feeling, as I have already found a couple of my target species early on. Unfortunately, we don't have many hickory nuts or acorns around here. I'd have to find them in a twig or something, or under a stone.

Welcome back, man! I’m glad your parents are coming around. I guess that means no termites, though?
I caught two C subbarbatus queens this year and two termite alates as well.
Didn't he say his parents made him release the subbarbatus?
Edit- didn't see the bedroom part. I convinced my parents to let me keep my feeders in my bedroom, so anything's possible................

That’s what it would seem to me too, nice catch! I hope it doesn’t cause too many issue since the alates will be a different species •~•Is it just me or do the ambiguus have alate brood?

Too bad. I hope they recover.

This is an interesting journal. temnothorax is a really cool genus. Do we have any around here? Also, what is their size?
Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. -Proverbs 6: 6-8

Workers are ~3mm and queens are ~5mm. You probably have 5-10 different species there. They live in acorns, sticks, and hollow reeds usually.This is an interesting journal. temnothorax is a really cool genus. Do we have any around here? Also, what is their size?

I also got an Inception Chamber, for my parasitic Lasius colony. But nothing compares to the museum glass of the Palladium.........
