So after my B. depilis queen died, I looked further into her species. Turns out, she could not only share a nest with my tetramorium, but farm aphids as well! Here's a link to a video showing it, as well as a website: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ http://bugguide.net/node/view/583702 h...

You wouldn't happen to have any scratch & dent Lasius nests or omni nests, would you? I have one Lasius Hybrid Small.

Help me please, if you have the time. What ants are the best to keep and observe from these kinds of ants: Camponotus Formica Lasius Leptothorax Myrmica Temnothorax Tetramorium And some exclusive species in my place: Formicoxenus nitidulus Harpagoxenus sublaevis Myrmecina graminicola Solenopsis fug...

So I go in my room to check on my queens, and I look at my Bracymyrmex queen, she appears dead. I take her out of her tube, look at her, she's dead. RIP Bchymyrmex sp., I knew you only a couple of days.
