Re: Europe | News
I'm founding 3×Lasius Niger, 2×Lasius Flavus, and 2×Myrmica Rubra (which are semi-claustral). All have eggs. I've looked after all before but currently only have a 3 year old L.Niger colony.

Re: Europe | News
Cool. All my queens have eggs with a few of the Lasius queens having larvae. Both Myrmica queens are coming along nicely (being semi-claustral they can be harder to found).

Re: Europe | News
I have now installed the heating cable for the queens, they seem to like it around 30-29 degrees celsius (around 86 fahrenheit)
Altough the unidentified Lasius queen doesn't seem to be a big fan of the heat.

Re: Europe | News
Does anyone have any previous knowledge or tips on finding and caring for "acorn ants"? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Hello!

All queens were doing great, especially The Lasius niger queens!
They all have Pupae and eggs but no sign of Larvae for the Formica queen, althought her two Pupae and her eggs were all looking very healthy, Here are the Photos from today:
