Other Hobbies?

Prenolepis are very interesting ants but quite rare, they fly just after the snow melts. Camponotus I find fly mostly around may/June in my experience, but can definitely be found earlier. I just walk on gravel trails and side walks with my test tubes and keep an eye out for them, just do some research on which ones are queens and it is very easy to find one. I found like 30 queens last year of all different types which was a mistake, I recommend 3-4 queens of species you really like and work on them. Then you can sell them and keep your best colonies. Queens live for 10+ years for most species some much longer. I have 1 fire ant queen but I’m going to sell her after hibernation because the colonies grow too fast for my liking. I also really like Formica which are really common and fly in huge numbers, they tend to get scared and start running around crazy really easily though.

Thanks so much!

I'll give it a shot this year and see how things go.

I work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week to pay for my expensive woman, my expensive bills and my expensive hobby (my tank). No life outside of that

I'm a supernerd... so my other hobbies are more expensive and geeky than my reef tank... Magic the Gathering and Warhammer 40k.

EDH by any chance?

Riding and camping with our gaited mules Ruger and Arlo. Mules are becoming very popular in the equine trail riding world. Our youngest mule is the first equine I trained all on my own. We got him when he was 6 months old. We also have 3 pugs and alot of chickens.

Really cool to see all these cool hobbies.
I keep a small bonsai collection. I paint when my creative side comes out. I do internal martial arts for exercise and piece of mind....Tai chi and Pa Qua. I also really love gardening around the house.

oh yea! And occasionally wearing our work mannequins wigs. This is my best hair metal look. See also my avatar.....WWF cut?

I decided to learn how to juggle during quarantine. That would be my hobby for the next few weeks.
