Re: Grace Ant Journal
Same species as last time she may be in a slightly cooler place than last time though. They both have eggs, larvae, and pupa.

Re: Grace Ant Journal
So, I went back and looked through my journal.. I caught these around the same time I caught my last C. penn queens. Difference is, last time I had nanitucs by August. It is already December, and no nanitics. No clue why this is, should have a bunch of nanitics by now. Kind of clueless as to why.

Re: I got into anting by.....
As a kid I always wanted an ant farm, but never got one. My first foray into anting was when I had kids. It was 20 some odd years ago, we did not have internet. Not even sure if there was much information online about ants back then. I decided to buy my kids an ant farm. I wanted a queen ant, the on...

Re: Grace Ant Journal
Got a new queen. https://i.imgur.com/7lXlH8k.jpg https://i.imgur.com/sTaO14N.jpg https://i.imgur.com/XNnXBFb.jpg She is a Formica species, not sure which species. Possibly subsericea, but not sure. Anyway, this queen claimed me. This is the third one this season. I was pumping gas, and out of the co...

Re: The chances of a wingless queen to be fertile

Re: Grace Ant Journal
Went out looking for queens again, saw nothing except 10 or so Solenopsis queens. Did not get them because I do not want to keep a fire ant colony
