Post here your current colonies using this format:
Species name, amount of queens, amount of workers, amount of soldiers(if a strong soldier cast is identifiable, such as in most? Pheidole species, don't count major workers), amount of alates (no sex, just number)
And of course, omit categories that don't apply, or that you don't know, such as species name(replace with Unidentified, use category of Unidentified 1, or 2, or3, etc for determining Unidentified colonies of the same species, see example below) or population.
Example:
REACKER(10/25/07)
Formica rufa, 1 queen, 897 workers
Formica rufa, 1 queen, 52 workers
Pheidole barbadus, 8 queens, 3,000 workers, 358 soldiers
Pogonomyrmex rugosus, 1 queen, 12,000 workers, 78 alates
Apheanogaster unidentified, 1 queen, 36 workers
Unidentified sp. 1, 23 workers
Unidentified sp. 2, 38 workers, 22 soldiers
Unidentified sp. 2, 1 queen, 874 workers, 300 soldiers
Date is in Month/Day/Year format
Since I'm very busy with school and other assorted things, I've found just getting around to updating this list to be too time consuming given the amount of editing I usually have to do to people's posts in order to get them into a uniform format. Using this format, I can get the census updated without too much time spent on my part. Also, I feel that the census looks better this way.
And if you don't post your colonies in the above format, I most likely will not get around to adding them.
And know that much of the specific numbers, especially in the case of large colonies, will likely be estimations rather than concrete fact.
