Hallo Zusammen!
Es tut mir leid, aber mein Deutsch is immer nicht genug zu schreiben. So Ich werde dass in Englisch machen.
So since i have been here in Germany (roughly 9 months now) I have restarted my ant keeping. I found quite a few Lasius species queens (most likely niger). They have recently helped their first workers eclose. All but one queen has roughly 12 or so nanitics now. They all are currently living in test tubes as all my newly captured queens do.
I recently also caught a handful of Tetramorium species queens (most likely impurum). As they have only been with me for roughly a week, i have yet to see any progress. However their brood are all extremely tiny so i don't plan on seeing anything for a while.
I also have 2 Formica species queens i have yet to identify, however one has also had her first nanitics eclose at about the same time as my lasius queens.
My journals can also be found more clearly here and here . Sorry for so many pictures here, but this will be the start. I will try to combine and update this thread as things occur to the colonies.
