Hello,
This morning I went out to check my previously unsuccessful blacklight trap, when to my surprise out crawled a queen! Unsure of species yet, but me and my ant keeping buddies best guess is Tapinoma Sessile (think I got that right). When should I start to expect Nanitics, and are they semi-claustral or fully claustral. If anyone has any specific care recommendations for this species that would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
fourteen
