Re: Please help ID these queens

Hi guys, I'm from Sydney, Australia and it is winter here. Over the last few nights I've caught quite a few of these queens, about 8mm. I'm pretty sure they are queens, they have quite a large gaster. They are not Irodomyrmex Bicknelli as the heads on these queens are larger, however roughly the sa...

But I noticed that she hardly ever laid eggs and that the first larva took almost 2 months to become pupa. And, to my dismay, just over a week after it had ...

Re: Questions and Feedback on Care of Tapinoma sessile Colony

There is no reason for them to keep aphids that can’t produce honeydew(They need living stems) Vaseline is crap. Use fluon for small ants like Tapinoma. Baby powder won’t work as well due to their size and weight compared to the baby particles. Some later formicaria I would suggest are acrylic nest...

Re: Questions and Feedback on Care of Tapinoma sessile Colony

Hello, I have a colony of Tapinoma sessile. I acquired the colony from an existing colony, which had at least a dozen queens and probably at least a thousand workers. I collected two queens and around 30 workers. It has now been around 6 weeks since I acquired them, and they have been doing well. I...
