New video! Not too happy with it, but an update is an update! Cool footage of a larva spinning its cocoon from the inside.

Haha! Thank you. I publicize kind of well, and with my brief photography background, I can get shots that a lot of people have never witnessed.

A quick video of my new Lasius (Acanthomyops) interjectus colony. This species is perhaps the largest of the genus, with workers averaging at 4-5mm in length. The queens are just short of 9mm, which is large for a social parasite, at least. I can't count this as a successful colony until one of the queens begins to lay eggs, but so far, things look promising.

How ironic Lasius Umbratus (a social parasite) being used by another social parasite Great video you have a great skill for photography Exalt ;D

You should get a macro lens. You could make wonders with one. I'm serious. You are good with a camera. You should make or buy a custom made nest that has spots for fiber otic lighting. You should see about getting one made from Tar Heel Ants. He can do just about anything I heard. Limes had a good experience with him. He might be able to point you in a good direction.

Lasius fuliginosus is sot of an ant which is meant to parasitize the parasite (hyperparasitism!) There may or may not be an ideal host species for Lasius interjectus (probably L. neoniger) but it seems that any does well enough. Go find Lasius fuliginosus for me! You should get a macro lens.

You should see about getting one made from Tar Heel Ants. He can do just about anything I heard. Limes had a good experience with him. He might be able to point you in a good direction. What I use now is essentially a macro lens. The only difference, I feel, is that I have a set focal range. It's much cheaper than a macro lens, too! I'm going to college and can't really afford any luxury gadgets for a while. In any event, video cameras (not the dSLR kind) don't come with an interchangeable lens feature unless they are over 1000 dollars, or over 10 years old. Lens stacking works well for me, so far.

Whoops! Looks like I made a little misidentification of the queen(s) in my last video. Examination of the maxillary palps (three segments would indicate Acanthomyops (claviger group)) has shown this is actually a Chthonolasius (umbratus group) species. After doing some research, I am thinking this is Lasius subumbratus. There are very few images of the female of this species on the internet. >.<

Are they rare? Is L.Subumbratus a subspecies of L.Umbratus? Cool

Lasius subumbratus is kind of rare in the United States, but abundant in my location. They are like Lasius umbratus, but bigger, harrier, and the queens have that beautiful honey color. Unfortunately, this colony got massacred by a rogue Camponotus major who got into their foraging arena, and I am left with one queen.
