Re: Aphids in Outworld

Where i live, we can usually find aphids within 20 feet of a honeydew plant (maybe a coincedence).
They clamp together and are very obvious. However, you only see them for a short time and then theyre gone. Until next year. If you can keep them that would be AWESOME. I would love to know how

Re: Possible Queen? Or male? HELP

That's pretty interesting how you found them in winter.. I can't tell if they're male or female from your one picture though, sorry. I doubt the rain triggered them to fly, though. I've been getting quite a bit further north in Indiana. Wait do you live in IN or north of IN. I live in the ohio rive...

Possible Queen? Or male? HELP

http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l620/GarronJ/IMG_20170117_150843_zpsn4b9ugqs.jpg I found these in my bathroom and scooped em up. There were quite a few of them so i doubt theyve mated, but it is mid winter right now (gotten pretty warm recently after it rained so i think it triggered them into ...

Re: Hello from the Bluegrass State!

Hmm... everychart i had looked at said they ended august. But apparently each species of lasius has very different schedules. You may be able to find some but they will need to hibernate soon.

Re: Restricted Space

That's another thing, putting a whole colony of ants in my fridge. We don't really have a ton of space in there, heck we had the tiniest area available to fit the few workers after they got here from when I had one of those tiny ant farms when I was little. (It was sand, not gel, don't worry.) Not ...
