Re: Camponotus nearcticus

It has been a few months since the nanitics were born, therefore I believe they may be dying off. When I checked them last week, I could only see one worker with the queen. (There could be more; again, the nest provides poor visibility and has some hiding places, yet there’s definitely less than nin...

Hello,
I recently caught a queen ant on 19 June. I live in the Netherlands, Drenthe, Assen. I would like to know what species she is, does anyone know? Image
She is of the genus Lasius, yet I am unsure of the species.

Re: Care advise for F. Pratensis

Simply break into a non-parasitic Formica colony and collect some pupae (Adult workers could end up killing the queen). From what I've heard, parasitic Formica can care for ...

Re: Trap Jaw Ants

Hi Folks, I am interested in starting an ant farm with Trap Jaw Ants and have a couple of questions for you: (1) Is it possible to keep Trap Jaws in a farm? (2) How would I go about buying Trap Jaws in New York State? (3) Are Trap Jaws particularly complicated to keep and if so, do you have any poi...
