Re: Help idk Formica care!
Claustral Formica care is pretty straightforward and, much like Tetramorium, you need only wait until the first workers arrive. One thing to note is that Formica don't keep brood over the winter, so egg laying will stop sometime in the fall/late summer.
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.
