:D All my Myrmecocystus queens from July started getting nanitics just now!
As of now, I have:
5 Myrmecocystus mexicanus with workers
1 Myrmecocytsus navajo with workers
1 Unidentified Myrmecocystus sp. that nobody can identify with workers and
1 Myrmecocystus creightoni colony from February of this year with five workers now. (Not really new but including this lists all of the Myrmecocystus I have.)

Yep. The yellow color is a characteristic of both Myrmecocystus mexicanus and navajo because they are both nocturnal. I have two diurnal species which are darker.
