I keep a journal of my pet ants over at antfarm.yuku.com . The species is a obligate parasite of Formica fusca-group species. Once established in the wild the species will perform raids onto the host species to steal the brood. Every so often I need to go out and find some of the host species brood to give to the parasite in order to keep the colony stable.
