If I were to get a hybrid nest which one would it be for this species???

I am getting prenolepis imperis and I was wondering which hybrid nest would suit it best or would an Omni nest be better sense they don't have a hybrid nest for that genus of ant. So what do you think I should do???

Re: Laws on shipping ants USA Please Help!!!

I'm not getting exotic ants though, in getting Lasius niger which is native to my area too but less common which is why I wanted to buy instead of catch!

Catching Queens During Nuptial Flight

Does anyone have tips for finding queens during nuptial flight, I've tried all summer and found only 1 camponotus queen! It seems like the only way to is just random wandering, is there any other method to finding them?
