  1. Atta texana queen with fungus/brood. I caught her about 2 weeks ago. I was pulling into the gas station outside my neighborhood and she landed on my windshield. Houston, Texas, USA. It's the first time I've caught one that actually had fungus with her.
  2. All of these ant queens flew into my house. I guess i am an ant keeper now. Any tips of any of them?
  3. Campontous herculeanus nuptial flight was a success
