HARDEST PART

[AntLove5Ever]

I am currently in the hardest stage of antkeeping. I have to wait on my queen to get workers, and I need to resist the urge to watch her.... Definitely the hardest part.

Yes, I agree. Especially with Formicinae that fly in the fall.

I am in a painful stage where I don't yet have a queen and it is 50F outside everyday. Maybe I could find some prenelopus impris..

Prenolepis imparis workers should be active above ground, but this species is the first to have nuptial flights in the spring.

Where did you find her? Im still in search for my first queen,but its hard out here i feel like im in search of some treasure. Our temp is still around 80's but we can start feeling the chill. I live in the state of Nv,we don't get alot of rain out here.

Under a rock, no eggs or brood. Likely only mated about 10 minutes prior. I checked it twice during the hunt, once at the beginning, no queen, once at the end, queen. Also they fly till november ish if it doesn't get TOO awful cold
