For anyone who doesn't already know, my real name is Drew or Andrew, and I'm from Southern California, Costa Mesa to be exact. I'm a network admin and webmaster of a few websites including this one now, and of course I love ants too.

Thanks. The organization and structure will remain mostly the same, but as for the look and the skin, this is just temporary, that will soon be changing to something a little cooler looking in my opinion.

Nice work Drew, glad I ame across your new website. Beats yuku in my opinion.

Thanks. Funny, I just finished watching all your Youtube videos before jumping on here today. Those Bull Ants and your formicarium both are so awesome.

Hi. My name is Brian. I live in Spokane WA. I just stumbled across this forum while searching for information about “ant farms”. I had an uncle Milton’s ant farm when I was a kid and I loved it. I’m now in my early 50s and trying to find a hobby after recently becoming divorced a few years ago. I am not a dog or cat person. Wondering if it difficult to find queen ants in this area. Is anyone out there from the inland northwest?

Welcome, brother! This is a truly great hobby to pick up at any age. Queens are quite easy to find almost anywhere. Your best bet would be looking for spring flying Camponotus queens on the first truly warm evenings. Read this thread for general tips: https://www.formicul...tch-ant-queens/

I live in the western WA so idk much about the wild life of the East but I'm pretty sure you have some cool desert speices out there. If you every go west you could get some cool Formica.
