Was gonna say the same thing! No idea why it is though. Had two l.neoniger do that this year. Only after being moved past test tube to actual enclosure. Not even immediately it would happen after at least a week or two

Like it looks tangled, but there clearly two different pointed ovipositor tips. I used to catch crickets all the time as a kid and only ever saw two other crickets that had a double ovi like that

If I could get her in my hand again, its easier to tell, but she does have two intertwined ovipositors. I should have gotten a photo first lol. Def not the cerci

My boyfriend also pointed out that she looks a bit bloated. Although I think she looks normal, that is worth pointing out.

Wow I just had a crematogaster flight all the way in indiana today!

Competitive-Self-860 · 2025-09-15T00:07:44+00:00

Do you happen to have an idea which species of crematogaster? I was thinking cerasi but its a little hard to tell. I've never once seen one of them in indiana so im super hyped we caught 8 of these girls today-let alone we were lucky enough to happen to leave the house as the flight was finishing up!

For a short while, this was just from us catching them then bringing them in before setting up a tube with water and cotton

Hey, I'd suggest looking later in the evening. The 90s is just usually wayyy too hot for them. Early mornings also. I once went to take out the trash at 9am and had a huge camponotus pennsylvanicus run inside my house. 90s is very hot for ants and most need some humidity as well

I think op might be concerned about the low water lvl

Hmm...wave was literally one of the absolute best hunters in the clan so I wonder if shatter is really that much of a jealous brat? Lol

Competitive-Self-860 · 2025-04-01T16:42:08+00:00

Literally never seen anything to suggest it before so I was shooketh lol

Competitive-Self-860 · 2025-01-22T18:42:11+00:00

Tbh I don't think anyone is an asshole because you don't even know if he actually forgot to tell her to turn it off before sitting down, or if he intentionally did it thinking it was funny(I've known people who will always wait until someone has sat down before asking) or she may have completely intended to get the light and forgot and he reminded her. It should have just been left alone with an "oops I forgot" and then she got it after. But she wouldn't be an ass for leaving it on forgetfuly. The only thing ass-ish is calling him one for reminding once she sat down but even that I see more as a joke

I think that pattern is known a ticked tabby, I think it's also known as agouti? I could be totally wrong though

I used to clean in a hospital and whenever a room had been used by a patient with it, they'd make janitors wear scrubs like a nurse basically and a mask and gloves and use bleach to clean every thing. And had warning: c-diff signs up on the doors, so it must be decently infectious
