Table of Contents
The Solen apparently used to be regular ants until's the meer's failed decay spell somehow made them all intelligent. They come in black(Felucca) and red(Trammel) versions. Below is some some documentation on both. - Many images to load. Patience.
Black Solen(Felucca):
Black Solen are identicle to their red brothers in most all aspects with the exception of appearance. Due to some graphical problem with the release of Week 2, LBR clients will see black Solen as though they were using the Renaissance client(Where Solen will appear as black Terrathan). You can learn more about Black Solen and other new Solen-associated creatures at: Solen Creatures.
Black Solen Spawn Maps - Felucca Great Lakes
These are maps of black Solen spawn locations in Felucca. Each of these spawn sites were visited for a short time and all Solen encountered were marked on the map where they where found. The maps are layed out this way in an attempt to display the outlines and central area of the spawns, and give you a general idea of what to expect from a visit there. To reduce loading time, the maps have been moved to their own page.

Black Solen Ant Holes - Felucca Great Lakes
You cannot "fall" into an ant hole. To investigate an ant hole, you must stand near or on it and double-click the hole. Not all ant holes go to the hive. A picture of holes that don't go to the hive is shown to the right. These are maps to Black Solen ant holes in Felucca. Almost all Solen ant hole locations have moved, and continue to change, so these maps will be taken down soon. Browse them anyway if you like.
