Hello, I found a Formica rufa queen a few days ago and read that you need to add pupae of another Formica species to raise her. But I was asking myself if I really do need to add another species of Formica or if I also can add some pupae of the same species (Formica rufa)? This would be a lot simple...

Okay, thank you. I will definitly try the stone method and see if it works.

Hello, I found this Formica sp queen and was wondering if she is in fact a social parasite, I was thinking about Formica rufa/polyctena. I caught her on 20-5-2018 20:00 on an old train track walking around right here: https://www.google.nl/maps/@51.6086746,5.4711344,3a,59.5y,87.17h,88.64t/data=!3m6!...
