Some of my older ant photos, many are a year or more older, I can't find the cord for my Camera to upload new images.

Pogonomyrex Occidentalis queens after last years nuptial's.

Camponotus sp. I'm currently keeping them, they have survived hibernation with around 50 workers and the queen with some brood in various stages:

Formica neorufibarbis Not currently keeping them, but every year I manage to get a colony of these, easy to keep, so common in my area they get old, heres some wild ones feeding on some syrup I left for them.:

Lasius neoniger queen, hard to keep, I've only once had a queen sucessfully raise workers despite having 200+ queens a year of this sp.

Crematogaster sp queen, this one never laid eggs but still lived about 8 months. Never have found another like her again:

Formica Aserva Slave makers, my colony died after slaves died off without seeing activity outside the terrairum I moved them to.

They are very interesting ants, I aquired a colony of them last year, but one of my other colonies found a way out, moved into the Pogo tank and killed all the pogos. ---_____--- Pretty sad :(

I got tagged by a Pogo worker on my toe once, wasn't that fun!
