Sweet! Thanks!
Congratulations, nice find! I'm curious if you could provide some details on what kind of setting/time of day you found her, as I have a lot of trouble finding Camponotus below 6000 ft.

Re: When to expect a response?

GAN is very slow. It took a week for my last buyer's request to be passed on to me.

Re: Plaster of Paris in Ant Keeping

I've never used it myself, for the reasons you've listed. A grout and sand mixture seems a better option, and works the same way.

Re: Colorado Nupital Flights

Hey, where has everyone been? Hopefully, you are all taking caring for queens you have successfully found this summer! I'd love to hear about what you guys have found so far, although I'm not sure if this would be the proper thread. Perhaps we should start a CO thread in the Community Hub board, see...

Concurring With Lasius.
Thanks for the help.
Do you think it might be Neoniger? I'm not really sure how to distinguish between Lasius species, and I'm colorblind :/

Colorado Lasius?

Found a handful of these today. Unfortunately, they all still have their wings, so pics from above are obstructed. Approximately 10mm. Never found a Lasius before, and I'm assuming that is what this is. Any idea on the species? http://i.imgur.com/9l4dyOE.jpg http://i.imgur.com/9FGjLqN.jpg http://i.i...

Re: Won't move

I attached my test tube with queen and workers to a hybrid nest, I checked on them a couple hours later and no move, a few more hours they started turning the formicarium into a trash pile, help on moving them in.
